About Our Charity
For nearly 70 years, The Arc of Massachusetts has been enhancing lives of the more than 200,000 people with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in our Commonwealth and their families. We advocate for supports and community-based services such as family support, employment, recreation, and residential.
The Arc is at the forefront of the fight for better lives for people with autism and IDD, working to ensure the rights of people with disabilities, obtain funding for support services, and seek the passage of good policies and laws, such as Nicky’s Law.
The Arc of Massachusetts is excited to be participating in the Flutie 5K for a second year! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with people in the community and inform them about our advocacy and programs.
Our mission is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, and their families. We fulfill this through advocacy for community supports and services that foster social inclusion, self-determination, and equity across all aspects of society. Support from donors like you makes our work possible.
Empowerment
The Arc of Massachusetts plays a leadership role in advocating on the state and federal levels to obtain services and supports for people of all ages with IDD and autism.
