TURNING CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES

The Arya Foundation provides need-based adaptive equipment to children with special needs in the Greater St. Louis Region. Learn more about why the organization was formed and our volunteer-run team.

Would you like to volunteer or provide a great idea? Maybe you have a question or feedback. Even if you simply want to say hi, connect with us and let’s positively work together to uplift our community.

As we are 100% volunteer-run, over 90% of individual donations go straight to families with special needs in the Greater St. Louis Region. This means that we are using your donations efficiently and ethically.

The Arya Foundation’s events are unique and memorable. Whether we are hosting a convention or fundraiser, it’s an opportunity to build a network of people with the goal of improving our community.

We are currently refreshing our online store for the latest apparel!
