Provide Individual Assistance

In addition to funding nonprofits through our grant allocation process, we provide financial assistance to individuals and families in two primary ways: emergency relief and camp scholarships.

The When In Need (WIN) Fund provides one-time, emergency funding for individuals or families in crisis. We work closely with the Community Outreach Coordinator, Concord Council on Aging, Carlisle Council on Aging, and other community agencies on case referral. Examples of WIN Fund support include:

Funding for temporary housing
Paid a rent bill for a resident suffering a medical crisis and unable to pay
Paid a heating bill for a struggling resident who lost her job
Funded emergency dental surgery for a young resident

The Campership Fund assists families in Concord and Carlisle who would otherwise not be able to afford the expense of summer camps. Applications open annually in the Spring and can be accessed through Concord Community Services Coordinator, Bonny Wilbur.

The summer camp scholarship makes it possible for my son to have an enriched, enjoyable summer while allowing me to continue working. He makes new friends, learns new activities, and has opportunities he otherwise wouldn’t. We’re so grateful for this support.
