Tune in Saturday, April 25 @ 11 am & Sunday, April 26 @ 8 pm to hear Ira speak with ETHEL GRIFFIN & COLLEEN LOVELESS, of REVITALIZE CDC. For 28 years they have rebuilt homes and revitalized communities in Western Mass, leveraging the investments of donors, grantors and volunteers to provide resources to the elderly, veterans, families with children and people with special needs, ranging from roof repairs to mold remediation, to health and safety modifications and energy-efficiency improvements. Hear how they’ve helped neighborhoods build the community strong enough to drive out drug houses; helped children suffering from asthma, worsened by their own house; and even in the time of Covid-19, can do virtual assessments to identify hazards in your home and provide advice and supplies. And how contributions, using the Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC), gives back 50% of your donation, as a tax credit that even includes nonprofits ie: kind of like the government is providing a matching grant!
