Activity 2

As part of its mission to enrich the quality of life for people living with a disability, the commonwealth community trust (cct) established the cct charitable fund award program to award up to 250 per annum for equipment, medication, and/ or services to financially needy individuals with disabilities. Each recipient of an award must meet the social security administration definition of disabled and meet the federal poverty guidelines or receive ssi or medicaid. Applications are accepted from april 1st to july 31st, and must be completed and signed by a representative from a public agency or nonprofit organization that serves people with disabilities. They are evaluated based on how the requested equipment, medication, or service will help the recipient with medical management/stability, improved quality of life, and community function/success. Each application is scored on these criteria by a panel made up of cct staff. The highest scoring applications are awarded funding of up to 250 each, up to a cumulative funding amount that is predetermined by the board of directors on an annual basis. For successful applicants, the award is presented as a check made payable to a vendor for the equipment, medication, or services described in the application. 73 individuals received assistance through this program in 2011.
