JARC

How Your Donation Helps

Approximately 2/3 of JARC’s $10 million annual operating budget comes from various public (government) sources, with Medicaid being the single largest source of JARC’s funding.  Public funding provides basic services for most of the people we serve.

However, the public system does not provide adequate funding to provide the excellent quality of life that is synonymous with JARC.  In order to provide the high level of service to which all people with disabilities are entitled, we must raise nearly $3 million each year.

Some examples of what JARC provides with contributions from individuals and businesses throughout our community include:

• Beautiful, well-maintained homes in safe neighborhoods.
• Participation in a wide variety of social, recreational and cultural programs.
• Extensive religious programs and opportunities for those who so choose.
• Compensation for direct service staff exceeding industry standards.  This ensures stability and familiarity for the people we serve, in addition to high staff morale.  Attracting and retaining the best possible staff ensures that the people we serve will be treated with the utmost care and dignity.
• Intensive and wide-ranging training for all staff, including the renowned U of JARC program.
• JARC’s Volunteer Program, including coordination of over 900 volunteers who support JARC’s homes, programs, and administrative operations.

These services are just a few examples of how JARC is able to provide services above and beyond the industry norm - thanks to the generous support of the community.
