The Arc New York is celebrating 75 years in service to our mission to provide people with intellectual, developmental and other disabilities the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities of life.

When Ann Greenberg’s son Jerry was denied admission to public school, she placed a classified ad in The New York Post, seeking other parents in need of support for their children with disabilities.

A handful of parents responded.

Then hundreds.

The organization they formed became The Arc New York, and has since evolved to become the largest provider of supports and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the state.

In the 75 years since our founding, we have driven transformation and progress in the lives of people with disabilities, fought and ended the abuses of institutionalization, and developed a robust system of community support.

Today, 35 local Chapters of The Arc New York provide supports and services for more than 60,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in every county of New York state.

These supports help people with I/DD live connected, meaningful lives, achieve their goals, and contribute to their communities.

Join us at our 75th Anniversary Gala to honor our legacy, celebrate our progress, support our mission!
