Concord treasurer reports donations and appeal mailing; FY26 application updated and quarterly payment raised to $400
Summary
Treasurer Catherine reported seven awards to HCT, an incoming trustees’ donation of about $26,000–$27,000, and confirmed the annual appeal mailing; the committee approved the treasurer’s report and set follow-ups on the FY26 application.
At the Town of Concord volunteer committee meeting, Treasurer Catherine delivered a brief monthly financial report and members approved the treasurer’s report by voice vote.
Catherine said the report was "a very simple report for this month," noting seven awards that went to HCT and that trustees of donations had written a check for about $26,000–$27,000 to the silent fund that would be deposited soon. She also said staff is tracking amounts given to CMLP and that a prior-month opening balance was adjusted to reflect a returned check.
Members voted to approve the treasurer’s report after a motion to accept it. The committee also approved the minutes from March 11 earlier in the meeting.
On outreach, members confirmed the annual appeal letter and mailing had been sent; several said they had already received checks in the mail and that the trifold outreach piece had been included in the appeal envelope. "I actually received a handful of checks," one member said.
The committee discussed property tax relief and eligibility: one applicant from the prior month is not a trustee of the estate and therefore was not eligible. The committee also reviewed the FY26 application; staff will contact the assessors for updated senior means-tested numbers and had updated the application letter to state that quarterly payments would increase to $400.
Logistics: members confirmed the committee’s next meeting is scheduled for May 13 at 9 a.m. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn into executive session to discuss individuals or families seeking assistance, which the committee approved by voice vote.
