You can help!
Since 1991, our programs have been supported by over $2,000,000 in grant awards from private, local, state, and national sources.
However, recent cuts to federal funding have made continued support more critical than ever.
ARC’s operational costs are sustained through private and individual tax-deductible contributions.
Your support helps us continue delivering impactful educational programs to students across communities.
Special Thanks to Our Current & Past Funders
