Whitman Aid to the Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund Committee - June 10, 2026 meeting

The Whitman Aid to the Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund Committee held a meeting on June 10, 2026, primarily discussing the release and outreach of the application for tax relief assistance. The committee reviewed the application process, including plans to promote it at the upcoming Whitman Day event, where committee members will staff a table to answer application-related questions but will avoid discussing donations due to statutory restrictions. They also discussed logistics for application submission, emphasizing that only paper applications mailed or dropped off at designated locations will be accepted, and the importance of reviewing all applications objectively after the October 1 deadline. Fundraising efforts were reviewed, including the use of a new donation platform, Zephy.com, which allows for credit card donations without fees deducted. The committee decided to delay scheduling the next meeting until September to assess the volume of applications and outreach progress, with plans to meet in October to evaluate applications and allocate funds accordingly.
