The Arc Minnesota

 Donate by Dec 31 to double your impact — up to $20,000 matched!

2025 has been a year of courage, community, and impact.

Together, we faced big challenges — and together, we showed what’s possible when people who care about disability rights take action. Your support made victories like these possible:

• We held our first rally at the Capitol, where hundreds of self-advocates, families, and allies gathered in person — and thousands more joined by livestream. With your support, we helped protect services that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) rely on every day to live, work, and thrive in their communities.
• We brought Disability Pride celebrations to communities across Minnesota. These joyful gatherings centered on belonging, creativity, and hope — showing that when people with IDD lead the way, community itself becomes a powerful act of activism and celebration.
• More people than ever are turning to The Arc Minnesota for leadership. Reporters and public leaders are amplifying the voices of self-advocates with IDD, raising awareness of disability rights in ways we have never seen before.

These are not just organizational wins. They are your wins. You made them possible.

And now, as The Arc Minnesota ends our 75th year, we celebrate a legacy built by donors, families, and self-advocates like you.

For generations, your commitment has fueled a movement for inclusion, dignity, and justice for people with IDD. That legacy gives us the strength we need for the challenges ahead.

But we cannot stop here. The need for advocacy and community has never been greater. That’s why I’m asking you to make a special year-end gift today. And right now, your gift will be doubled — up to $20,000 — thanks to a generous matching challenge.

Your support at this critical moment will go twice as far, protecting hard-won progress and building a future where every person with an intellectual or developmental disability is valued and included. Please, make your year-end donation today and have twice the impact.

Thank you for being at the heart of this movement. It is an honor to be in community with you.
