Valley Alliance for Land Equity (VALE) serves as a information and resource sharing group that seeks to increase the effectiveness of each of our missions through mutual support. FCCLT operates as the fiscal sponsor for VALE while this group-of-groups establishes internal protocols and continues to build external support. VALE's mission is to scale up the availability of permanently affordable, democratically-governed, shared-equity opportunities for land and housing in Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden counties. We seek to meaningfully reduce the racialized wealth divide in Western Massachusetts and better meet individual and community needs. This collaborative is allowing FCCLT and other area CLTs to draw on the decades of expertise of the various member groups, build relationships with mission friendly developers and real estate designers, create channels for combined statewide housing initiatives, develop shared paperwork and administrative functions to reduce burden on isolated rural communities seeking to form local area CLTs, advertise the benefits of community owned property to our neighbors to make it part of the regular conversation of housing, and to find ways to be an entity that can say YES to donations of property with structures - which currently does not exist in the River Valley. 564 0 690 FCCLT operations - regular internal maintenance, but also the first real estate project for our organization. Since June 2024 residents of Montague MA (town in Franklin County) have approached FCCLT along with Mount Grace Conservation Land Trust with the goal of acquiring beloved property in Montague with the potential purpose of aligning affordable housing with the project. FCCLT funds expended represent due diligence and legal fees toward this purpose. 3116 0 2750 The FCCLT board, in the course of developing our nascent organization, discovered that finding, maintaining, tracking and motivating volunteers to this difficult work is often times a key stumbling block toward mission fulfilment. A local group of activists in Greenfield MA (a city in Franklin County) decided to establish - Resilient Greenfield. The mission of Resilient Greenfield is to support existing organizations to foster collaboration and coordination, and possibly create new projects to meet the emerging needs of Greenfield and surrounding towns. This is done through the creation of a volunteer clearinghouse - setting up a digital platform for local non-profits and others to post their volunteer opportunities while being a platform for individuals and business to connect to see how best to fill those volunteer opportunities. FCCLT found this mission compelling and helpful for our needs. When Resilient Greenfield reached the stage of needing to purchase software and accept donations, FCCLT was approached and approved to operate as fiscal sponsor. 0 0 0 22867 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 MA X Martin Omasta 9155258907 335 Green River Rd Greenfield MA 01301 X Judith Atkins President 0.5 X 0 0 0 Martin Omasta Treasurer 5 0 X 0 0 0 David Cohen Clerk 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6840 0 6840 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6840 0 0 0 10000 10000 750 750 0 0 0 0 8531 2843 2844 2844 712 237 237 238 1250 1250 944 944 1280 1280 749 749 1726 1726 4245 4245 700 700 Governmental Filing Fees 337 337 0 0 31224 22867 3081 5276 0 0 80188 56484 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 80188 56484 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 80188 56484 80188 56484 80188 56484 X -24384 0 0 0 0 680 X 0 0 0 X 650 352 133749 6840 141591 0 650 352 133749 6840 141591 141591 141591 1 1 X 0 650 352 126249 6840 134091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7500 7500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 650 352 133749 6840 141591 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7500 7500 0 0 0 7500 0 7500 134091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 650 352 133749 6840 141591 0.94703 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 Volunteers once a year attend a CLT lobby day at the MA Statehouse to advocate for legislation favorable and helpful to establishing CLTs in our region.
