Help Us Do More of What Matters

A lot goes into the work we do at The Arc ADE. From helping families navigate complicated systems to supporting self-advocates, sharing resources, and creating opportunities for connection, our days are filled with work that matters to our community.

And as our organization grows, we're always looking for ways to do that work even better.

This Colorado Gives Day, we're inviting our community to help us take the next step in improving the technology that supports our work. Better tools mean easier access to information, stronger connections with our community, and more opportunities for our team to focus on the people we serve.

It's not the most exciting thing to put on a wish list, but it's an investment that touches nearly everything we do.

If you believe in the work of The Arc ADE, we'd love your support in helping us do even more of it.

 All donations will be earmarked for our general fund.

The Arc Arapahoe & Douglas Counties uses advocacy and education to include all children and adults with disabilities, and their families, in their communities.
