Social Equity Campaign: Investing in Community

You’re invited to an upcoming house party to learn how you can make a high impact investment to SCC’s Social Equity Campaign through the Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program. You can also donate now to help us secure even more CITC support. 

A program of the Department of Housing and Community Development, CITC provides a 50% tax credit for donations made to selected community development nonprofits in Massachusetts, including SCC.

For those eligible, there is an additional tax credit available from the federal government, providing a total tax credit of nearly 70%. Download the CITC fact sheet. 

DHCD has made a number of additional CITCs available to eligible CDCs. Start the donation process today to help SCC earn more credits. 

Learn more from current supporters about this unique program that lets you Do Well While Doing Good. SCC supporters will be hosting parties at their homes on the following days:

Somerville sits on the original homelands of the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Naumkeag, and Nipmuc tribal nations. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we live and work.
