Planned Giving
“Fifty years from now, I hope there will be more L’Arche homes. That is why I want part of my estate to go to L’Arche. I want to contribute to something that will visibly go on and make sure that people have homes.” -Sue Lewis Bodner

When we share everyday life—people with disabilities and people without—we find and enjoy the belonging we all need to thrive. Your partnership with L’Arche GWDC makes this vision a reality by supporting these missional programs:
Lifelong care and relationships are foundational.
We focus on holistic, person-centered care within relationships, offering a model of inclusive living for adults of all ages and stages of life.
Education and advocacy are essential.
For decades, those with disabilities were shut away in institutions. Today, we passionately promote the understanding that all people are valuable and integral to a thriving community.
Mission of transformation is the result.
We nurture each other’s leadership potential and spiritual formation to discover who we are and how we can contribute to the greater good as we build a more human society together.
Your Support Makes an Impact
Picture our community’s budget as a pie. Government reimbursements cover some slices, but not the whole.
A full one-third of the pie depends on you.
Your generosity fills this gap—making L’Arche life possible, ensuring core members have what they need to thrive, and providing meaningful pay for assistants. Without your part of the pie, the picture isn’t complete. With you, the whole community flourishes.
People with intellectual disabilities have historically been isolated, silenced, and robbed of choice and relationship. Not at L’Arche. At L’Arche, core members are at the center of who we are. They lead our community as together we welcome visitors and volunteers and go out into our neighborhoods. Your gift allows us to provide quality care and to maintain and expand this unique community.
The impact of your donation can be seen in our daily lives–in the cozy, safe homes we live in, in the vans that get us where we need to go, and in the loving relationships between core members and assistants. Your generosity means the world to us.
