Arc also provides jail-diversion case management to dane county residents, who can also access our treatment programming. In addition to treatment, arc provides services that address the barriers to treatment that women often face by providing childcare, arranging transportation, and helping with housing, schooling and employment. All programming is holistic and based on best practices and current research, with a specific focus on pregnant and post-partum women and their children. Each woman creates her own unique treatment plan and staff support her in reaching those treatment goals, ranging from harm reduction to complete abstinence. All women are encouraged to involve their family members, as they define them, in their treatment as arc believes treating the whole family is critical to interrupting the intergenerational cycle of substance use, trauma, and poverty.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income rose $55k → $344k.

2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of ARC COMMUNITY SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 7 of 8 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

ARC COMMUNITY SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 71% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $78k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
