Ideal Applicant
A Vermont-based nonprofit or program whose mission aligns with community-facing needs (youth services, parks and community development, domestic violence, food/health charities or event/scholarship support) and that can plausibly demonstrate local impact.
Good Fit
- • Primary programs that directly benefit Vermont residents or municipalities.
- • Requests framed as general operating or community program support with clear local impact.
- • Ability to accept multi-year or installment commitments and provide local references.
- • Request size consistent with recent grants (typical awards range from small amounts up to mid-five-figures or occasional six-figure gifts).
- • Willingness to submit a concise letter and follow up by phone or mail.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Vermont: roughly 89% of grant dollars supported VT recipients in the latest year, even though a handful of out-of-state grants appear. The footprint is therefore local with occasional out-of-state exceptions.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set (57 grants to 54 distinct organizations), spanning youth services, parks, health, community events, shelters and scholarships; this indicates substantial institutional variety despite some larger individual grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (17 new grantees in the latest year) and the foundation publishes a practical submission route (brief letter to a P.O. Box with phone contact and rolling consideration), so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path to enter the portfolio.
