This is a “citizens” alliance, correct? So, why not promote non-profits that also benefit the people who live here? Why not add a group like RICAN? Is it that you care more about your issues than the citizens you claim support you?

This happened to be a post about giving to Charlestown’s Environment and not every environmental group is taking part in 401Gives.
We have certainly worked to raise money for RICAN, please take a look at this post where we reported raising 0ver $10,000.00 for RICAN, https://charlestowncitizens.org/2021/02/20/cca-and-rican-combine-to-fight-food-insecurity/ and we run an individual fund raising effort for them every year.
In addition, at Christmas we try to feature every non-profit that serves Charlestown. Please have a look at the following posts:
