As the benefactor of The Arc, the Friends of the Arc Foundation, Inc. is comprised of concerned community leaders who are committed to supporting and raising money for The Arc. Acting as an independent third party, the Foundation directs your contributions to ensure that Arc services will continue to be available to those that need and deserve them. Through the Friends of the Arc Foundation, Arc programs benefit, not only by means of immediate gifts, but also via trusts and bequests set up to keep on giving. We invite you to explore with your attorney or tax advisor the various ways of supporting the vital work we do.

The Foundation sponsors several SPECIAL EVENTS each year.
Proceeds from these events directly benefit people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in our two-county region.
