Ideal Applicant
A Vermont-based human services nonprofit (food security, shelter, mental health, community services) with local track record and a program-sized funding request in the foundation's observed range.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Vermont or serves Burlington/Chittenden County communities.
- • Works in food security, homelessness, mental health, or related human services.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral from a current grantee or local trustee.
- • Seeks support aligned with named restricted efforts (e.g., the Warmth program) and asks for sums similar to prior grants.
Geography
All observed grants in the latest year went to Vermont organizations, so the giving footprint is tightly concentrated in a single state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 11 distinct independent grantees across food banks, shelters, mental health and community services; the portfolio is moderately diverse for a micro private foundation despite financial concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Based on two years of data the fund shows a high repeat rate (10 of 11 recipients returning) and declares support is by preselection only, so direct entry for unfamiliar applicants appears unlikely without a relationship.
