Your donation gives hope and creates a lifetime of possibilities

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities want to plan their futures and set life goals, but they need your help to realize their dreams of self-determination. Your donation supports lifetime advocacy for development, education, and life management that helps individuals with disabilities and their families live full lives as valued members of our communities.

You can choose the giving plan that works best for you

• Make your gift now. You may also arrange a monthly gift online for ongoing support.
• Ask your employer about their matching gift program which can double, even triple your gift.
• Be a Sponsor for our August Duane DiPonio Golf Charity Tee Off  or February Ball for All Dinner Dance.
• Consider making a non-cash donation that can increase your support now while providing you with tax savings:
  • Recommend a gift to The Arc NW from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
  • Donate stock easily and securely online.
  • Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA before the end of the year is 100% tax deductible and may help you save on taxes while you invest in the issues you care about most. Consult your financial advisor to find out more.
  • Consider in-kind gifts such as property or a car.  Review our Gift Acceptance Policy (see below) for our guidelines.
