Dutchess ARC Foundation was created to raise public awareness about people with developmental disabilities while raising financial support from the Dutchess County community to continue to provide the services they need and deserve. While funding of Dutchess ARC primarily comes from federal sources, we rely on and appreciate the support given by individuals, businesses, families and friends.

By supporting an event through a sponsorship, advertisement, or attending as a guest, you are helping us increase awareness about our cause while utilizing extra exposure for your business at the same time.

Charitable Gift Annuity
A Charitable Gift Annuity is one of the simplest, yet most versatile of all charitable gifts. It is a way for you to make a gift to a cause or organization that is important to you and still receive an income for yourself or others. It is a contract, where a charity, in exchange for a gift, agrees to pay a fixed sum of money for one or two lifetimes.

Dutchess ARC, as a chapter of NYSARC, Inc., is able to offer you this gift option through the NYSARC, Inc. Charitable Gift Annuity Program. For more information, please contact Crys McCuin at (845) 635-8084 x101.
