Wellspring Cooperative is a Massachusetts Community Development Corporation (CDC)[1] that works to bring urgently needed economic transformation to low income and unemployed residents of the city of Springfield by the creation of worker-owned businesses called co-ops...creating jobs and wealth opportunities where it’s needed most in the neighborhoods of the city.
A benefit of being a member of the Massachusetts Association of CDCs is that donors who make cash donations of at least $1,000 can receive a Massachusetts tax credit for 50% of that donation. It is called the Community Investment Tax Credit Program or CITC Program. The program was created to leverage the tax credit to encourage donors to double their donation to vetted organizations like Wellspring. NOTE: Tax credits are limited. Check for availability by contacting Development Coordinator, Kristan Bakker.
