The Arc promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community. We rely on the generosity of donors like you to support our programs!

Your support helps change the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by supporting the work The Arc—JCCGC does year-round:

Empowering people with disabilities to build the skills and confidence required to advocate for themselves
Educating families on how to navigate complicated systems and support their loved one’s needs and desires
Expanding access to the systems that provide critical supports for people with IDD
Erasing misperceptions about people with IDD

What does our work look like? The answer is many things. We work with individuals and their families to achieve their goals from birth to end of life. That means that each individual gets support tailored to their specific situation.

In our last fiscal year alone, we have served 541 unique individuals with IDD, 47% of whom are adults and 53% children in areas like housing, schooling, and employment. Each person is typically connected to others–like parents, siblings, or professionals–so with an average of 3 additional people per advocacy request, we provided support to 1,623 people.

We hope you will join us in uplifting people with IDD and breaking down barriers.
