The Founding
White Unicorn is an association dedicated to developing an autism-friendly environment. It was founded on November 14, 2015. For its inception, people gathered for whom the creation of an autism-friendly environment is of great importance. On that day, they elected the board of directors. During this first assembly, the board drafted the statutes (constitution). These statutes outline the purposes of the association and how they are to be implemented. The document was signed by all present, meaning everyone declared their agreement with its contents.
The association was established as a non-profit organization. Non-profit associations like White Unicorn e.V. are not permitted to act for financial gain. There are strict controls to ensure the association adheres to this principle. The organization is officially registered in the "Vereinsregister" (Register of Associations) under the number VR34737 B. This entry can be found at the District Court (Amtsgericht) of Charlottenburg, where anyone who wishes to do so can look up the registered associations.
The Members
Non-autistic people can also become members of the association. These members are called supporting members (Fördermitglieder). They are not permitted to vote on all matters during assemblies when decisions are made or someone is elected. The majority must always be autistic. This is vital because only autists can truly understand other autists.
All members work together to develop an autism-friendly environment. Some participate actively in the team, others donate, and still others simply want to use their name to show support for the association's work. The goal remains the same for everyone, regardless of how they participate or whether they are autistic or non-autistic.
Supporting members are welcome!
Our non-profit organization is a provider of child and youth welfare, education and upbringing, science and research, as well as public welfare. It is led by a 2/3 majority of autists for autists. This means that autistic members hold full voting rights. Up to 1/3 of the voting members can consist of non-autistic individuals. All others are admitted as supporting members. It is also possible to choose a supporting membership from the outset.
If you feel connected to our advocacy group—even if you do not necessarily identify as autistic—for instance, because you support our concepts, models, and projects, you are more than welcome to fill out a membership application:

The following list includes members and supporting contributors who are willing to publicly stand with their names for the development of an autism-friendly environment. In total, White Unicorn e.V. currently has about 170 members. All members who wish to do so can be published by name here. While transparency is important, privacy is equally so; therefore, this step is voluntary for every member, and this list does not represent a complete overview of all members.
