Ways to Volunteer

Since its founding in 1947, the Concord Carlisle Foundation has been a volunteer-driven organization. Without our volunteers, our fundraising, special events, and community work simply would not be possible. Each year, hundreds of individuals give of their time and talents to help make a difference in our towns!

Volunteering with the Foundation or one of the organizations we support is a wonderful way to enrich the community we love. Here are some ways to help:

  • Special event planning
  • Committee work
  • Marketing/communications/social media/outreach
  • Office help
  • Community Closet

We welcome help from students as well! High school or college students may receive community service credit by volunteering at the Concord Carlisle Foundation.

Contact the Foundation office at volunteer@concordcarlislefoundation.org or (978)369-5250 for more information.

With our Grantees

“Volunteering for the Concord Carlisle Foundation has helped to shape my opinions about community service, philanthropic priorities and so much more. With a single gift, our donors are able to reach hundreds of individuals right here in Concord and Carlisle who struggle on a daily basis with a broad spectrum of issues. The Foundation carefully stewards its resources and subjects every request for funds to a stringent review process. This thoughtful approach provides our donors with the assurance that their gifts are as impactful as possible on a local level. As a past President of the Board, I am thrilled to continue to support the Foundation as a donor, an overseer and as a member of two committees. I can’t think of a better way to be supportive of my community and my neighbors in need.”

– Valerie Kolligian Thayer, Foundation Overseer & Committee Member
