Mission

THE ARC FOUNDATION OF ROCKLAND TAKES A LEAD ROLE IN PROMOTING, PLANNING, AND EXECUTING FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT THE ARC ROCKLAND. THIS INCLUDES THREE ANNUAL EVENTS: THE HAROLD PETERSON MEMORIAL GOLF CLASSIC, STEP UP FOR THE ARC ROCKLAND WALK, AND A TASTE OF ROCKLAND. FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES ALSO INCLUDE MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS DURING THE YEAR FOR INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION IN OUR FAMILY FRIENDS MEMBERSHIP, GIVING TUESDAY, AND END OF YEAR GIVING. THE ARC FOUNDATION OF ROCKLAND RESEARCHES GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FROM BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND STRATEGICALLY WRITES AND SUBMITS APPLICATIONS TO THOSE WITH STRONG ALIGNMENT. FUNDS GIVEN TO THE ARC ROCKLAND FROM THE ARC FOUNDATION OF ROCKLAND SUPPORT A VARIETY OF KEY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. EXAMPLES INCLUDE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS TO OUR RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES; RECREATIONAL AND COMMUNITY-BASED ACTIVITIES; SELF-ADVOCACY TRAINING; AND RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL AND DEDICATED STAFF.
