Donate
DesertArc’s programs and services need help from donors and granting agencies to continue to offer high quality services to our clients and their families. The need for donations has become heightened at this time of economic uncertainty and cutbacks in charitable giving. Eighty-five percent of DesertArc’s funding has come from the State while the rest has come from its business operations, grants and donations. Support from the State has been declining since 2000 and now the situation has become critical as the Governor and the Legislature are threatening deep cuts that literally threaten DesertArc’s continued existence. Over the past two years more than $500,000 in expense reductions have been accomplished through increased organizational efficiencies and cost cutting. But that is not enough to offset the likely impact of State funding reductions and a decline in business sales due to the struggling economy. You can help by making a charitable gift to DesertArc!
Your tax deductible contribution will ensure the future of DesertArc and assist in providing services to our clients. Your generous gift supports vitally important programs and services for people with developmental disabilities and assists them in creating productive and rewarding futures. Donations are generally directed to pay for services for which there is no State or Federal reimbursement or reimbursement revenue does not cover programs costs. These services include client transportation, hot meals, assisted nursing, and client wages for work programs.
