A Stronger Foundation for the Future

We are excited to share that the Friends of Allegany Arc Foundation and the Arc of Steuben Foundation are coming together to form The Arc Allegany-Steuben Foundation.

This unification represents an important milestone and brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. By uniting, the foundation will strengthen fundraising efforts, streamline operations, and create a clearer, more powerful presence across Allegany and Steuben counties.

Most importantly, this step allows us to build on the proud legacies of both foundations while expanding our ability to make a meaningful impact. All existing donor intentions and fund designations will continue to be honored, and support for programs and services will continue without interruption.

Together, as The Arc Allegany-Steuben Foundation, we look forward to growing opportunities, deepening community partnerships, and creating an even stronger future for the people and families we serve.
