A special fund has been established by The Kansas Masonic Foundation and Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas(DSNWK) for children in Decatur County Kansas who have physical disabilities. This fund, called the Mountain Slope Masonic Lodge Special Needs Fund for Decatur County, was established through a generous anonymous estate gift.

All interested parties must complete an application. The request for funds may be submitted by an organization that serves Decatur County (i.e. Oberlin School District, DSNWK, LINK, Oakley Service Center, Medical provider, etc.)

Consistent with provisions of the Developmental Disability Reform Act, the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services has designated a CDDO for every area of the state to help coordinate developmental disability services and supports. Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities seeking services must first be determined eligible through the CDDO.
