The Trustees of the NYSARC, Inc. Trust have approved a
remainder fund grant of $8,000 per chapter to provide recreational opportunities for people they support. Last year the Chapter received a similar
grant from NYSARC Trust Services to ninety
of our individuals. They went to Hidden Valley and Corning Glass Center where
they each got to make a glass flower. They spent the day at Seabreeze Amusement
Park and had a picnic. The individuals
also went to the Strasenburgh Planetarium and the Rochester Museum &
Science Center. One of our sites purchased some arts and crafts and activities for
the residents to work on. The
individuals were able to attend several Buffalo Bills and Rochester Amerks
games. They also were able to hold several holiday themed celebrations due to the generosity of this grant. The Arc of Orleans County plans to use
the funds in the same fashion this year.
In addition, remainder fund grants totaling $ 1,466,000 were
awarded to support NYSARC guardianship programs statewide. A total of $1,874,000 in remainder grants was
awarded in 2015 to support recreation and guardianship statewide. NYSARC Trust Services administers
supplemental needs trusts that enable people with disabilities to remain in
