At The Arc Baltimore, we envision a world where every person with intellectual and developmental disabilities is valued—from birth through their golden years—and has access to the resources and support they need to live life to the fullest.

For nearly 74 years, we’ve been a lifeline for thousands of Baltimore families, providing hope when the future feels uncertain for their loved ones with disabilities. From a mother welcoming her beautiful newborn son with Down syndrome to a young adult stepping into the workforce to aging parents struggling to care for their adult daughter with cerebral palsy, families turn to us when they need it most.

Your generosity makes a difference. By making a gift or starting a personal fundraising page, you directly support the vital services The Arc Baltimore provides - from the first steps to the final celebration of life - and every milestone in between. We are here for families every step of the way.

We were thrilled to debut our mission appeal, "Supporting Families at Every Stage", at Art in the Round a few weeks ago, which led to an outpouring of donations! Many generous individuals purchased tickets, bid on art, purchased wine bottles, and brought friends to learn more about our mission.

We’re over halfway to our overall goal of $75,000, and you can help us reach it! If you haven’t seen the mission appeal video, I highly recommend taking the 10 minutes to view it.  

It explains how the Arc Baltimore provides invaluable support and resources throughout an individual's life.

Your generiosity is very much appreciated, by me and the Arc Baltimore!
