We are home to The Arc Master Trust, the nation's premiere Special Needs Trust, serving Hoosiers of all disabilities since 1988, and affiliated with The Arc of the United States.

From its humble beginnings, The Arc has blossomed into the State's most well-respected and leading advocacy association for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families. Today, the work of The Arc continues to:

• Empower families with information and resources to assist them in their journey of raising a child with a disability to lead a full and meaningful life.
• Empower people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to be self sufficient and independent to the greatest extent possible.
• Inspire positive change in public policy and public attitudes.
• Reduce the incidence of disabilities.
• Serve as a spokesperson and advocate for families and their loved ones.
