Help us raise money

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. 

Education and Transition Training 

We offer a range of webinars and educational resources for self-advocates, parents, educators, and other professionals so they can learn about available resources. 

Operation House Call (OHC)

OHC advances health equity for persons with disabilities. Future medical professionals at seven medical and graduate nursing schools, are taught essential skills to enhance the health care of persons with IDD. Families, parents, and individual self-advocates serve as educators in a field that seldom focuses on more than making a diagnosis.
