Join our end-of-year fundraising campaign by making a tax-deductible gift today!

The stakes are higher than ever for the 500,000+ Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who are waiting for services that would help them live in their community; for people who have skills but can’t find a fair-paying job; for parents desperate for the free public education their child needs to reach their full potential; and for folks denied their civil rights or fair treatment in the criminal justice system.

We press on. While Texans with IDD are facing some of the most serious threats we have seen—at both the state and federal level—there is progress, too, thanks to you. Make a gift that makes a difference—stand with us. 

Donations are currently being matched by Providence First, doubling your impact!

For 72 years, we’ve stood with the Lone Star State’s diverse disability community, our chapter members, and advocates, and we will continue until every Texan with IDD lives the life they deserve and choose. Check out our 2025 Impact Report for personal stories, policy progress, resources, and lots of hope—a celebration of the self-determination of Texans with disabilities!

We believe Texans with IDD and their families are the experts, and we are listening, learning, and taking action. Make a tax-deductible donation today to help us continue this work, together. Your support is more necessary now than ever.

Gratefully,

Jennifer Martinez | Chief Executive Officer, The Arc of Texas
