Arc of Onondaga Foundation

The Arc of Onondaga Foundation was established to ensure the financial future of the agency by securing community support.  The Foundation’s efforts will guarantee that comprehensive services of the highest quality will always be available for future generations.   The Arc of Onondaga Foundation was formed in 2002 and is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, duly registered with the United States Internal Revenue Service and the New York State Attorney General’s Charities Bureau.

The Foundation builds community support through individual contributions, planned giving and special events.  Support for the Arc of Onondaga Foundation is a powerful statement of involvement, compassion and commitment to people with developmental disabilities.  Those who give lead by example and provide the motivation for others to follow and to provide hope for a life inclusion, independence and productivity for each individual.

The Arc of Onondaga Foundation is a separate corporate entity from Arc of Onondaga, the chapter of NYSARC, Inc., and is led by its own, active Board of Directors.   The Foundation hosts the Annual Arc Achievement Awards Dinner in June and Arc Race in September, each year, in addition to other fundraising events and campaigns.
