Our Donors Make the Difference

ARCS^® Foundation conducts fund-raising (fund development) for two separate and distinct purposes. 

Individual Chapters raise funds to provide scholar awards to America’s “best and brightest” future scientists, technologists and researchers. ARCS Foundation Chapters raise these funds from their members, local businesses and foundations, and from special events. Please visit any of our Chapter homepages to learn how you can participate.

At the National level, the National Fund Development Committee is charged with growing the National Endowment Fund. A robust Endowment Fund supports current operations as well as new initiatives, such as the development of new Chapters.

The ARCS Foundation National Endowment Fund was established over a decade ago through generous donations made by members of the National Advisory Council, the National Board and Chapter members. Additionally, over the years to the present day, corporations and foundations including those listed below have provided major gifts to ARCS Foundation, making it possible to realize long-term goals of significantly increasing the Endowment Fund, developing new Chapters and launching new projects such as the National website and database. Corporations also generously support ARCS National Annual Meetings around the country.
