MESSAGE FORM THE ARC CENTRAL CHESAPEAKE REGION
"You're changing lives, not just for these kids, but for the family as a whole. If he can do something a little better, we can do something a little better. When he's happy, we're happy. This grant goes way beyond what's happening in our house – it's impacted school, church, his friends, everything. I can't even figure out how to say thank you because I don't have the words to tell you what this means for my son and my family." – Parent of Family Fund Recipient
Founded in 2017, the Family Fund is a grant program that provides financial support for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities – helping them access critical, expensive, and unfunded therapies, equipment, and life-enriching opportunities. Since its founding, The Arc Central Chesapeake Region has awarded over $200,000 to kids throughout Central Maryland.
The Family Fund is 100% funded by generous donors, like you.
Thanks to your generous support over the years, we've seen kids learn to talk, walk, become more independent, catch up in school, and create happy memories they never would have otherwise been able to. Kids were able to go to therapy. They had access to technology. They went to camp and had access to specialized equipment that made their lives better every day.
We can't change how much these critical services cost, but by supporting the Family Fund’s endowment, you can change how many kids can access them.
The purpose of the endowment is to help ensure the strength and longevity of the Family Fund.
When you make a gift to the endowment, you are supporting the Family Fund for decades and generations to come.
The Family Fund will continue to operate as it always has, with annual donations creating the funding distributed in February each year. Your endowment gift is immediately invested and becomes annual income, adding additional funds to the annual grant pool.
The endowment allows generous people like you to go beyond your annual gift to give "a gift that keeps on giving."
