Mission

FEAT OF LOUISVILLE IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION OF PARENTS AND PROFESSIONALS DEDICATED TO ENSURING THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH ALL FORMS OF EFFECTIVE EARLY INTERVENTION.

  • The Endeavor Program, one of our fastest growing programs, is a partnership with Carriage House Therapeutic Preschool. It is a year-round, clinical program which features a unique combination of early childhood education and applied behavior analysis embedded within a developmentally appropriate and natural group environment. Endeavor offers a 2:1 child/adult ratio ensuring intense positive interactions, instructional guidance, and a nurturing safe place to grow. Carriage House was founded in 1969 and now focuses on serving children ages 1 to 6 years with special needs alongside their typically developing peer group. Its partnership with FEAT of Louisville has been going strong for 20 years and more important than ever. With over 100 children on the Endeavor Program waiting list, the need for service expansion is significant, and we have recently expanded the Endeavor Programs facility by 5,100 square feet, offering 1 additional inclusive preschool room and six new clinical Endeavor groups which opened in Jan 2025. Early diagnosis and intervention, as well as ongoing supports, are critical in achieving the best outcomes for individuals with ASD. The Endeavor Program is such an important part of our overall mission and strategy of helping our youngest children with ASD learn and thrive. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 31 children will be diagnosed with autism. This statistic, released by the CDC in 2023, is an increase from the previous rate of 1 in 44 children, reflecting an overall improvement in outreach, screening, and de-stigmatization of autism diagnosis. Based on these statistics, approximately 266 children with autism are born in Louisville each year. Research has proven that early intervention is the key to lifelong success. Young brains contain more neuroplasticity, which is the ability to learn and change behavior. Accessing early intervention within the first five years of life dramatically reduces the lifelong costs of a child with autism. Unfortunately, our community does not have enough providers to serve the growing demand for autism early intervention. Housing a clinical program alongside an inclusive preschool with typically developing peers is truly what makes Carriage House and the Endeavor Program so unique. Even our children who are still working to build the foundational skills to be successful in the large group environment are provided with opportunities during the day for peer modeling. The goal of the clinical program is to build the foundational skills required to slowly transition from the clinical environment into the inclusive preschool and then on to their next educational stop in the least restrictive environment.

  • In 2011, FEAT spearheaded the Autism Friendly Community, a group of more than 40 local providers who have the same mission, to help those with autism, but desire to see more happen in our community. Today, with more than 60 providers, we are working to ensure there are no gaps in services, preparing our community for the influx of those with autism who are aging out of the system, and working to make Louisville and beyond Autism Friendly Cities. The rate of autism has increased approximately 384% since 2000. Currently, 1 in 31 children in the United States are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is treatment that can help but there is currently no known cause or cure for this developmental condition. Nearly half of 25year-olds with autism have never held a paying job. The Autism Friendly Business Initiative (AFBI) is a training program designed by Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT) to build a community of local businesses that are dedicated to the inclusion of people with autism spectrum disorder

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
