| Support Us! ARCS’
programs are partially supported by federal and state grants. ARCS also relies
on donations from individuals, foundations, corporations and local businesses,
as well as funding from special events. Private donations and grants are essential
in order to meet our clients’ constantly changing needs. Only with the broad
support of generous donors can we help our clients successfully navigate an uncertain
and difficult future and prevent further spread of HIV/AIDS.
All contributions made to ARCS are used to support the provision of HIV/AIDS services
within our region. Donations made by our community stay in our community.
ARCS is registered under the legal name of Mid-Hudson Valley AIDS Task Force,
Inc. as a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation with the State of New York Office of
Charities Registration, and as such, all contributions are deductible to the full
extent of the law. Please make contributions payable to ARCS
