I am excited to share with you The Arc of Massachusetts’s 2024-2025 Impact Report.
Thanks to the generosity and support of our community, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autism and their families have hope, access to resources, and a stronger voice in our Commonwealth.
In the past year, The Arc secured critical wins at the State House: increased funding for services and training programs, the preservation of DESE program funding, and protections for workforce rates. Together, we have mobilized families and advocates to protect essential supports like MassHealth, ensuring that the needs of our community remain front and center with decisionmakers.
Challenges remain, including workforce shortages, long waitlists, and federal budget pressures. Your support ensures that The Arc continues to lead with strength, determination, and a shared vision of inclusion, dignity, and opportunity for all.
See what we’ve accomplished together and consider making a gift today so that we can protect critical funding and continue fighting on behalf of people with IDD and autism!
With gratitude,
Maura Sullivan, MPA
Chief Executive Officer
