National Day of Giving

On December 3, 2019, ARCS will again participate in #GivingTuesday, marking the fifth year that the foundation has taken part in the event.

As in past years, #GivingTuesday donations to ARCS National will serve these and many other purposes to advance the foundation’s mission:

Support chapter growth
Promote chapter communications
Develop ARCS leaders
Foster cross-chapter networking and synergy
Maintain national Identity

Participation in this event has been rising each year! ARCS again encourages members, scholars and scholar alums, as well as friends and others in the ARCS community, to come together and make this #GivingTuesday the most successful campaign yet.

A Generous Match

Because of the generosity of national board members, ARCS Foundation is pleased to announce that any donation made on the 2019 National Day of Giving will be matched up to $27,500.
