What Is
a Pooled Trust
Who We Are
WNY Coalition Pooled Trust is a nonprofit organization serving people with disabilities, older adults, and families who depend on Medicaid and other essential benefits. We’re here to make a complex system feel more manageable – with steady guidance, clear answers, and support that treats every person with respect.
We help individuals and families protect benefits while staying financially safe and supported.
Our work is built around one simple belief: people deserve stability and understanding – especially when navigating healthcare and benefit systems.

WNY Coalition Pooled Trust has been serving the community for 23 years
Over time, we’ve grown alongside the people we support — members, caregivers, advocates, and professionals who all share the same goal: helping individuals remain secure, eligible, and independent.
Today, we continue that work with the same focus — clear guidance, responsible management, and a warm, people-first approach.
