Access to Community Services, Inc.

What is Access to Community Services?
ACS is a group of organizations working together to help people with disabilities and other challenges to live, work, play and succeed in our community. More than 3,500 individuals receive services from ACS organizations every year. ACS organizations are not affiliated with the United Way of Dane County.

How do I designate by my contribution to ACS?
It's easy! You may send your contribution to Laurie Irwin, c/o Special Olympics Wisconsin, 5900 Monona Drive, Suite 301, Madison, WI 53716-3554 or check Access to Community Services on the your pledge card if you participate in any of the following workplace campaigns: Partners in Giving (State Employees Combined Campaign), Madison Metropolitan School District Combined Campaign, City of Madison Combined Campaign, MATC Combined Campaign, Dane County Employees Combined Campaign or Monona Grove School District Combined Campaign.

Can I specify just one ACS organization to receive my gift?
Yes. It's up to you to decide if you would like your donation to be distributed to each of the ACS agencies or only one.

Where do my dollars go?
Ninety-five percent of the dollars we receive go directly to help people with disabilities and other challenges. One hundred percent of the contributions to ACS stay right here in Dane County.

Is my ACS contribution tax-deductible?
Yes, as allowed by law.
