Point Arc’s Every Gift Counts Capital Campaign aims to raise $10 million for endowment, services


Point Arc’s Every GIFT Counts Capital Campaign is in full swing to raise $10 million for three major goals over the next three years.
 
Goal 1. Operating and Residential Endowment Funds

Endowment Fund #1, an Operating Fund, to guarantee a sound financial future for The Point by securing and maintaining a minimum base of $5,000,000, with the ability to move a maximum of five percent per year into the operating budget for unbudgeted deficits and growth.

Endowment Fund #2, a Residential Fund, The Gerding Family Legacy Fund would guarantee a sound financial future for The Point’s Residential Program by securing and maintaining a minimum of $5,000,000, with the ability to move a maximum of five percent per year into the Residential Program to cover unbudgeted deficits and grow to eliminate waiting list for families seeking a lifelong placement for their loved one.

Goal 2. Social Communication & Educational Center

To consolidate our five (5) educational programs under one roof, with the transformation of our garage annex at 625 Washington Avenue by Spring 2018. 

Goal 3. Owen Hauck Exceptional Care Group Home

The goal is to create the only Exceptional Care Group Home for individuals who, since birth, or have acquired through the years the need for exceptional support not available in a typical group home.

The ultimate dream, without reinventing the current wheel, is for The Point to provide the best program, when any government funded agency denies access because there is no financial reimbursement.

A successful Endowment Campaign will insure The Point can and will provide the supplemental or scholarship costs to initiate immediate access at time of need.

The agency is headed by Judi Gerding, president and founder of the 45-year-old organization.

It operates a number of social enterprises, including Point Perk Coffee Shop, The Point Commercial Laundray, The Point Commercial Cleaning Company, and The Point Embroidery and Screen Print Co. and provides residential, educational and employment services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
