Ways You Can Support The Arc
Private philanthropy is the cornerstone of our work. The Arc relies on the generosity of local businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals to strengthen our programming, develop new initiatives, and ensure the highest quality care for people with disabilities.
We appreciate your support in helping us to achieve our mission of empowering families and individuals of all ages with disabilities to reach their fullest potential.

MEMORIAL GIFTS
Gifts may be made in honor or memory of a loved one. Memorial gifts add extra meaning to special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, thanking a colleague, or memorializing a loved one all while supporting vital services for people with disabilities.
ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAM
New for 2023, we're offering an annual giving program. This program will provide businesses with year-round opportunities to promote their brand while supporting our events and services. With one gift, you will receive a year's worth of benefits, including tickets to our fundraising events, recognition on our website, social media exposure, your logo on The Arc's promotional items, and so much more.

LOCAL BUSINESSES
Are you interested in hiring one of highly skilled individuals? Please email Anne Holton. Our program matches the skills and desires of each individual with the needs of the business. Job Coaches support our participants in a variety of settings, including individual supported employment, group supported employment, and mobile work crews.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please ask your employer if they offer a matching gifts program (most do!) then simply forward the information with your donation — we'll do the rest! A matching gift is the easiest way to increase the impact of your gift.
IN-KIND DONATIONS
Are you interested in making an in-kind donation? We accept donations of products or services other than cash or appreciated property. For more information, please email Brenda Linden.
PLANNED GIVING
Planned Giving, also called Legacy Giving, is a wonderful way to make a larger, lasting contribution to The Arc. By designating a major gift in life or as part of your estate plan, you are establishing a legacy that not only creates a memory of your life but also provides long-term support for people with disabilities.

VOLUNTEER
