At a time when disability services across Colorado are facing unprecedented cuts—from Medicaid and education to life-changing community supports and civil rights protections—your generosity means more than ever.

Because of your support through donations of time, expertise, and funding, The Arc of Colorado can continue to stand with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Your gift ensures that someone has an advocate in their corner, a pathway to needed services, and a voice that will not be ignored.

Colorado Gives Day is about believing in a stronger, more inclusive Colorado. We believe that real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time (Ruth Bader Ginsberg). We hope you’ll join us to take those steps. Together, we are capable of effecting real change, enduring change.

Your tax-deductible donation helps support the work we do in providing leadership in promoting and protecting the human rights of individuals with IDD, including full inclusion, participation, and quality of life. We hope you’ll consider The Arc of Colorado on this important day of giving: https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/ArcOfColorado/welcome
