Trust Services

The AHRC Foundation has established a Community Trust program that allows individuals to provide financial resources for a loved one who has a developmental disability, without affecting that person's eligibility for government benefits.  A parent, relative or any other person may establish an account within the Trust and designate a disabled loved one as beneficiary.   Income and principal in that account are available to the beneficiary for expenditures not covered by government benefits. This Trust is referred to as Nassau County AHRC Foundation Community Trust I.

In addition a Trust program has also been developed for disabled individuals who already have money in their name through income, an inheritance, lawsuit award or settlement.  This Trust referred to as Nassau County AHRC Foundation Community Trust II protects these assets while enabling the individual to maintain their government benefits.  In addition these funds can be used during the individual's lifetime to enhance their life and upon their death the funds will remain in the Trust for the benefit of other trust beneficiaries avoiding a payback of government funds used.

Participation in these Trusts is available to individuals who are not consumers of AHRC as well.
