Who We Are

Learn More About CCT

Commonwealth Community Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that administers affordable and efficient Pooled Trusts. We serve minors and individuals who are vulnerable, injured, or have a disability throughout the United States.


CCT was founded in 1990 by parents of children with a disability and concerned professionals.


CCT is managed by a Board of Directors, comprised of legal and financial professionals and experts who work with populations that are vulnerable, injured, or have a disability. Our Board of Directors serve with a caring heart and without compensation. At least two members who are related to an individual with a disability serve on the Board of Directors.


Staff members are caring professionals who provide personal services and are knowledgeable about the rules governing Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid for clients who receive these means-tested government benefits.
