The Disability Foundation

At the Disability Foundation, a supporting organization to the Dayton Foundation, we work with families to ensure their resources are utilized for the things that matter most to them and their family. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for persons with disabilities by complementing public benefits through the prudent management of financial resources. To do this, the Foundation acts as Distribution Trustee of The Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust, the Ohio Community Pooled Flexible-Spending Trust and the Third Party Pooled Flexible Spending Trust.

What this means, is that you can set aside resources for the care, entertainment, daily needs and life’s little extras without interfering with SSI or Medicaid benefits. This became possible in 1993 when Congress authorized the creation of “pooled” trusts to hold funds for people with disabilities without penalty to their benefits. Ohio, in cooperation with the Medicaid program, recognizes and exempts these trusts.
