Somerville Community Land Trust - Launch Fund

Donation protected
We are launching a Community Land Trust in Somerville, and we need your help to get it off the ground! The mission of this organization is to create and preserve permanently affordable housing in Somerville, for Somerville residents, by Somerville residents.  

The Somerville CLT will be an independent, community-based non-profit organization.  We want YOU to get involved at this very early stage, and we need your support to help cover some of the initial expenses such as legal incorporation fees and community outreach materials. Anything you can give makes an enormous difference - we can't do this without your support!

If you'd like to learn more about how CLTs have worked in communities around the country, and about the unique challenges and opportunities we face in Somerville, please read our recent report here . If you would like to be more involved, please send an email to [email redacted]. Thank you so much for your support!

(Disclaimer: because the CLT does yet exist as a non-profit (that’s what we’re raising money for!), these funds will be collected personally by Ben Ewen-Campen, who will write a check for 100% of the donations to the CLT once it is established. Thus, these donations are NOT tax-free.)
