(Continued on Schedule O) In addition, The Arc helps youth and families with the transition from school to adult life in the community by offering access to professionals at workshops, seminars, and webinars, including the transition series on a wide variety of topics. The Arc also trains self-advocates in advocacy and public speaking skills through a "life like yours" toastmasters and people first programs. The Arc's resource program, transition points (providing opportunities, information, networking, and transition support), is a comprehensive program to help families with realistic, actionable information with which they can make a wide range of decisions over the life span of their loved one with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Transition points focus on the following key decision points: receiving a diagnosis and having a child enter an early intervention program, starting school and navigating special education and related services, transitioning out of the school system, finding a place to live outside the caregiver's home, entering the world of work and employment, and aging with a disability and aging of the caregiver. The Arc also provides personalized online curriculums and technology to enable independent living, which provides support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to maximize their independence. The Arc's curriculums can be used as virtual travel trainers, life skill teachers, and virtual job coaches to help individuals live, travel, and work more independently. The Arc's curriculums also expand supports for disability service provider partner organizations through the use of innovative technology.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
