2008/2009 Annual Report Dear Neighbors and Friends, For over 60 years, the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest has been building community in Concord and Carlisle. The Chest is a multifaceted organization with 35 human service agencies, thousands of donors, four part-time staff members, several special funds, and over 50 active volunteers - all coming together to support children, teens, seniors, and families. Member Agencies & Organizations This year, the Chest achieved its goal of raising $620,000 during a tough economic period. Loyal donors continued their support and some even increased their gifts to cover those unable to give. On June 11th, lead donors, sponsors, and allocations team members gathered at our annual Celebrate Giving ceremony and distributed grants totaling $525,972 to 35 agencies. We are extremely grateful to the many volunteers who spent countless hours visiting member agencies, reviewing applications, and recommending grants to our board. When you give to the Community Chest, your support is multiplied by the Chest’s staff, volunteers, and donors. We hope you will join us in creating community for everyone in our towns. We had several other exciting events this year, beginning with an agency workshop in November on the condition of non-profits in Massachusetts. We were delighted to host speakers State Representative Cory Atkins and State Senator Susan C. Fargo, who shared information and answered questions from agency members. In April, the Chest added a Community Impact Fund to our two existing Field of Interest funds (for Scholarships and the Environment). The Community Impact Fund grew out of recognition of the increased financial instability in our state, and provides financial assistance for basic needs so as to help individuals and families cope with the impact of the current economic crisis. Applications for all three funds are now being accepted. In June, the Chest board of directors welcomed new members Amanda Hickman, Wendy McNally, Maura Perkins, Mark Russell Prior, and Bridget Saltonstall. Two board members who have worked tirelessly for the past six years, Linda Escobedo and Sarah Newton, will become overseers. The fiscal year concluded with the Challenge triathlon on June 7th, which raised more than $15,000. This annual event is both for fundraising and FUNraising, with over 200 participants of all abilities and dozens of hardworking volunteers. Teams of six bike, run, and paddle to the finish line at the Old Manse. Proceeds benefit our member agencies, many of whom also participate in the event. Looking ahead to next year, we will no doubt face an even more difficult financial climate and expect agency requests to increase substantially. We will continue to look to our donors and sponsors to help us meet local need. When you give to the Community Chest, your support is multiplied by the Chest’s staff, volunteers, and donors. We hope you will join us in creating community for everyone in our towns.

Each written proposal was carefully reviewed by a committee comprised of the donor, community volunteers, Chest board members, overseers, and the executive director. Field of Interest Funds, initiated in 2006, address relevant need outside of the regular allocations process. Based on donor concern for specific initiatives, the Chest has established funds for the environment, scholarships, and community impact. These funds require a minimum $10,000 gift that is distributed over a 3-year period. New donors are welcome at any time during the year. The following programs and projects were funded in FY08/09: A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 From the Environmental Field of Interest Fund: Sudbury Valley Trustees received $2,000 to conduct a botanical inventory and historical review of Gowing’s Swamp Concord Conserves received $2,000 towards a carbon footprint meter Battle Road Farms received $2,500 for curriculum development From the Scholarship Field of Interest Fund: Concord Conservatory received $1,000 for music scholarships Emerson Umbrella received $1,000 for program scholarships Community Outreach Coordinator was given $1,000 to support needy families Concord Recreation Department received $10,000 for Metco summer camp students and $750 for a “Sneaker Fund” in conjunction with the Community Outreach Coordinator Jointly awarded from the Community Impact Field of Interest Fund and Cornerstone Fund: Be the Change Movement was granted $5,000 for Challenge Day, a student program that addresses bullying, drugs, alcohol and other isolating behaviors.

The Healing Garden will offer Continuing Education classes, at a fee, to medical providers such as social workers and physical therapists who need licensure renewals. w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g $75,000 in Scholarships Provide Access to Many E ducation and recreation are highly sought after in the Concord-Carlisle area. Several local programs receive funding from the Community Chest each year so that they can provide scholarships to families in need. As the economic slowdown continues, more households will be impacted financially and need to seek help from these important organizations. Carlisle. This year, 14 children received scholarships, with the typical award being 25% of tuition. More families have applied for the current school year. “We are so grateful to the Community Chest for this funding,” said Pat Nelson, executive director. “Since Massachusetts has dramatically lowered its reimbursement rates, other programs in the area are unable to accept children who receive state funded assistance like we do, limiting access to quality early education programs for low income families. So the scholarship funds we receive from the Chest are essential to our program and community.” “ I am deeply grateful to the Children’s Center (and Community Chest funding)… for making this school affordable to us… and for ensuring that the student population is relatively diverse. Concord Children’s Center is one such agency that provides yearround childcare and early education for children starting at ten weeks of age. Since its inception in 1975, this organization has offered tuition assistance, through an annual grant from the Community Chest, to families who live in or work in Concord or A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 ” w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g A mother whose children attend the Concord Children’s Center on scholarship said, “I am deeply grateful to the Children’s Center (and Community Chest funding) as well as the state voucher program for making this school affordable to us… and for ensuring that the student population is relatively diverse.” A nother local organization offering Chest-funded scholarships is CAPA, Concord Area Preschool Association, comprised of area preschool teachers and directors. CAPA maintains a scholarship fund, enabling some families to send their children to preschool who otherwise could not afford it. Grants of up to $1,500 are need-based. Last year eight children received scholarships from CAPA. scholarship help from Concord Recreation, Carlisle Recreation, local Girl Scout and Boy Scout organizations and the Concord-Carlisle Adult & Community Education program. The Community Chest has been funding these important agencies for many years so that local resources are made available to everyone. For example, Concord Recreation helps subsidize summer camp for 90 local children while the Adult & Community Education program extends financial aid to 300 individuals. Any child who wants to be a scout and cannot afford the dues is eligible to receive a scholarship. Whether it is for camping, swimming or summer sports, preschool or educational courses, the Chest enables local organizations to enrich the lives of many through scholarship aid. Leisure activities such as summer camp and scouting are also important to families in the area although many cannot afford programs without A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g The Concord-Carlisle Community Chest gratefully acknowledges the following donors and sponsors whose generosity enables us to support and financially empower more than 35 human service organizations and programs. Thank you for your ongoing generosity! 2009 Individual Donors Volunteer Service Awards S ix Concord students received the 2009 Concord-Carlisle Community Chest Distinguished Volunteer Service Award for commitment to a volunteer project in the area of human service. The board of directors congratulates the following teens for giving back to the community: Lauren Penfield was commended for her work at Emerson Hospital on the Transport Team and in the Community Services Office. Kathryn Gardner volunteered at Lovelane Special Needs Horseback Riding Program. Elizabeth Visosky worked at the Council on Aging, helping a vision-impaired senior with reading and companionship. Heather Lipkin volunteered at Open Table in Concord and provided its guests with pet food and knitted hats. Caleb Brewer planned and coordinated a trip to New Orleans for hurricane relief work. His senior project helped to cement the groundwork for future student service trips. Giles Pettingell worked to organize the Concord Council on Aging’s “Bucket Brigade” and led a service trip to Transylvania. A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 T3 Program Assists New Orleans Service Trip L ast February, the T3 Program at Concord-Carlisle High School helped fund a student-led service trip to New Orleans comprised of 16 people who might not have otherwise interacted with each other. The trip was planned by CCHS then-junior Caleb Brewer with the assistance of teacher and chaperone Kevin Pennucci. The T3 Project (Teachers/Talent/Time) was initiated in 2000 with a $50,000 grant from the Community Chest’s Cornerstone Fund, providing small and specialized grants to offset teacher expenses related to afterschool efforts with at-risk youth. During the week-long New Orleans project, students fanned out daily to different locations and assisted with repairing houses damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Students scraped walls, painted and hung sheet rock as a team. When they were not working, they were preparing food together so that by the end of the week, everyone had gotten to know the other students in the group. For organizer Caleb Brewer, the best part of the trip was “seeing all the hard work pay off and bringing together people who might not have gotten together without this service learning.” T3 supports projects that foster deeper connections and attract a diverse group of students, particularly those who may be at-risk or are connected to few if any activities within the school or community. The program has helped fund dozens of teacher requests over the past 10 years and is administered by Concord-Carlisle Adult & Community Education. w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g are crazy times and we are so “These fortunate to have your support.” financial support of the programs “ Your that we provide each year is very crucial Sally Quinn Reed, Director, Center for Parents and Teachers to us, especially in times when small towns like Carlisle are struggling with their own town budgets. ” Kathy Mull, Director, Carlisle Council on Aging 10 A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g A n nu a l R e p o r t , 2 0 0 9 w w w.co m mu ni t yc h e s t .o r g 11 Community Chest’s financial “ The assistance is both immensely helpful and encouraging to us, and we are extremely grateful for your ongoing support.
