Historical NoteReturn to Top
On August 4, 1950, the Children's Benevolent League of Washington, Inc. created the Children's Benevolent League Trust Fund, a perpetual and irrevocable trust. Its purpose was to raise funds for study and research through medical, sociological, psychological, and other means to determine the cause, prevention, care and amelioration of mental deficiency. The Trust Fund has undergone several name changes through the years. In 1971 it became the Washington Association for Retarded Children Trust Fund. In the 1980s it was known as the Washington Association for Retarded Citizens Trust Fund. By 1998, the fund was known as The Arc of Washington Trust Fund.
