"We are
not only supporters of the Commonwealth Community
Trust, but our son, and therefore our family, is a
client as well. While all parents want their
children's futures to be as bright as possible, it is
even more worrisome and important when the child has
a disability. By creating a Special Needs Trust for
our son with Down Syndrome, not only have we helped
to ensure more opportunities for him after we are
gone, we have also not made him a significant
financial burden for his siblings and relatives. CCT
has made the future brighter for everyone in our
family."

Commonwealth Community
Trust (CCT), a private 501(C) 3 nonprofit

CCT is managed by a Board of Directors who serve with a caring heart and without compensation. At least two members are related to an individual with a disability and the rest are selected based on professional ability and interest. more.....
