It's MORE THAN A FUNDRAISER....So get ready for DaniMation's second annual Giving Tuesday Video-a-Thon! Streaming on our DaniMation YouTube Page!

For more than 15 years, Dani Bowman (Founder and CEO of DaniMation, and cast member of the NETFLIX hit series Love on the Spectrum US) have been educating, elevating, and empowering the autism community by helping them turning their passion in animation into career!

In 2023, DaniMation has successfully surpassed its $3,000 goal to raise money to scholarship students to DaniMation's annual Summer Animation Workshops.

This year as part of the DaniMation's 15 year anniversary special, we wanted to do this again...This time something DIFFERENT!
