How Can You Support The Arc?
Over nearly six decades of advocacy, The Arc has worked steadily to achieve equality for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our advocacy has changed the lives, opportunities and perceptions of people with I/DD living right here in our community.
To ensure that all individuals and families have access to The Arc's transformative support, our programs have always been offered free of charge. What's more, to ensure that The Arc is always working in the best interests of people with I/DD and their families without constraint, we don't receive any government funding. Instead, we rely on the generosity of donors like you to support these programs.
Free, independent, life-changing advocacy.
Your charitable gift will help us keep this promise and protect the programs that so many inidividuals and families depend on. This section is an overview of ways you can provide financial support for The Arc.
