Considering a Special Needs or Supplemental Needs Trust for a family member? Check out The Arc of Minnesota's Master Pool Trust. The Arc of MN Master Pool Trust, administered by professionals that know the intricacies of trusts, makes it possible for families to put money aside for a loved one with a disability, for things like vacations, cell phone, cable TV, without affecting eligibility for government benefits such as SSI & MA.

For a limited time, The Arc Minnesota is offering families an opportunity to create an unfunded trust for an initial payment of $200. An additional $600 to be paid when the trust is funded.

Arc West Central is now on Facebook!
