Applicants are submitting proposals to address a variety of areas for individuals with disabilities including safety and well-being, employment, technology, housing, transportation or socialization. The Changing Lives Fund at Northeast Arc, established with a $1 million gift by Steven P. Rosenthal, will award up to $200,000 to the winning proposals.

Seven to ten finalists will be selected to present “Shark Tank-style” before the judging panel at the Ark Tank 2.0 event at the JFK Library. The public is invited to attend the event however space is limited. RSVPs are requested and may be submitted through this link https://ne-arc.org/the-arc-tank/about-the-arc-tank/
