Yes and no. The Missouri Family Trust, now doing business as Midwest Special Needs Trust, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency established by legislation (402.199 RSMo). The Midwest Special Needs Trust does not receive a legislative appropriation. Thus, it maintains fiscal and operational independence from the state. The Midwest Special Needs Trust is administered by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor of Missouri. Six of the nine members must have a family member with a disability.
