About The Arc of Greater Tarrant County
The Arc of Greater Tarrant County is a 501(c)3, non profit organization that has worked to improve the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Arc of Greater Tarrant County was
founded in 1949 by a group of parents who wished to discuss educational needs for their children.
Our services include advocacy, information and referral, parent and professional education, public education and fun activities and classes.
Our
Vision
The vision of The Arc of Greater Tarrant County is a community where people with disabilities are active participants and where quality services and supports are accessible and responsive to a person's needs, choices, and dreams.
Eligibility for services
No proof of disability is required to receive Arc services, most of which are free or available at a low cost. Our slogan emphasizes the commitment we make to individuals and families to help build bridges for an improved quality of life for all ages and ability levels.
2007 UPDATE
The Arc of Greater Tarrant County 2006
Annual
Report
The Arc of Greater Tarrant County faced a great number of challenges
and hurdles in 2006. However, under the
leadership of the Board of Directors, the staff set the overarching
goals of maintaining services, becoming fiscally sound,
and becoming more involved in the community to positively impact the
lives of individuals with disabilities.
The Arc of GTC is proud to report that we reached all of our goals.
The Arc worked hard over 2005 to operate in the black, and excess income was strategically used to fund another
position in 2006.
Although The Arc is proud of the 2006 accomplishments, it is only
the beginning. 2007 is witnessing more growth and excitement for The Arc of GTC—all to serve you better!
And The Arc sends a special thank-you to our members—none of this
would be possible without your support! |
