We Offer These Programs in Support of the I/DD Community

 
 

The Arc of Washington Trust Fund was established in 1950 to provide funds for research into intellectual and other developmental disabilities. It has grown to also include annual student stipends and broadened its focus in terms of training professionals who will provide services and advocacy for the I/DD community.
