The UPARC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was created in 1981 and incorporated in 1982, under the capable leadership of Dr. William E. Hale, a local geriatric physician and philanthropist. The Foundation's mission is to help secure the financial future of UPARC by fostering community awareness, involvement and financial support.
For over 28 years, UPARC Foundation has reached out into the hearts of the community, bringing it not only an awareness of the financial needs and revolutionary accomplishments of UPARC, but also ways to get involved to make a difference in the lives of people who are dealing with a lifetime of personal challenges.
UPARC is recognized internationally for its innovative and rehabilitative programs for the developmentally disabled. For more information about its services or service locations, please visit the UPARC site.
At UPARC Foundation we have tremendous passion for the mission of UPARC and for our role in helping to fulfill that mission. We are dedicated to creating a strong financial foundation for UPARC and a well-informed base of community support that will advocate on UPARC's behalf. We strive to educate the community at large about the critical needs of our consumers and the outstanding organization, UPARC, which works so hard to meet these needs.
We are governed and managed by a community Board of Trustees. Over twenty five citizens donate their time and expertise to guide and direct the staff and activities of the Foundation to achieve our mission objectives. Our leadership volunteers commit to a two year term of service during which they are available to provide not only personal financial support, but also opportunities for others to learn about UPARC in an effort to involve them in our work to help secure the future for UPARC.
