The Arc of Bergen and Passaic

What The Arc of Bergen and Passaic does

The Arc of Bergen and Passaic Counties, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1947 and headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, that delivers a comprehensive continuum of programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across Bergen and Passaic Counties. The organization serves over 1,400 individuals and 750+ families through nine integrated service lines: Early Intervention (CHILD Center for children birth to three), Adult Day Services, Camp Rainbow (summer day program), Family Support, Recreation and Arc Dances, Residential Services (group homes, supported and independent living for ~200 individuals), Vocational and Employment Services (~200 workers at the Hoehne Employment and Training Center), Guardianship and Trusts, and Special Needs Programs. The technology stack is essentially non-proprietary; the organization is a labor-intensive human services provider rather than a technology company. Revenue comes from four streams: (1) government fee-for-service contracts with NJ DCF/Perform Care, NJ DDD/DDS, Medicaid, and Bergen County Division of Disability Services; (2) charitable donations routed through the separate Bergen-Passaic Arc Foundation (Tax ID #22-3458399); (3) special events such as the Holiday Dinner Dance and Step Up for The Arc Walk; and (4) a social enterprise, Arc Enterprises, which produces liquid soap (Enrich, Health Care, Ultra Bath brands), contract assembly/packaging, screen printing and embroidery, and janitorial training services staffed by workers with disabilities. The organization operates five physical sites in Hackensack, Oakland, and Elmwood Park and is governed by an Operating Board of Trustees and a separate Foundation Board.
