As a non-profit organization, L’Arche Antigonish is managed by a local Board of Directors and works collaboratively with the Nova Scotia Department of Opportunities and Social Development in developing programs for persons with intellectual disabilities.

The L’Arche Antigonish Foundation was incorporated as a non-profit society to respond to the funding needs not covered by the Department of Opportunities and Social Development. These “Friends of L’Arche” help the local L’Arche community participate in the regional, national, and federation activities of L’Arche and share the story and mission through various fundraising initiatives.
