Vermont Community Foundation

The Vermont Community Foundation helps Vermont-focused philanthropists, organizations, and businesses cultivate their love of giving to the community. We do this by helping them learn, lead, and grow through their philanthropy. The Foundation is a Middlebury-based statewide public charity with more than 500 individual funds, each of which contributes to building healthy and vital Vermont communities. We also offer planned giving, nonprofit endowment management, and other services that help charitable partners achieve their missions. We help build and manage charitable funds created by individuals, families, groups, organizations, and institutions to improve the quality of life in Vermont. Grants from these funds are awarded at the suggestion of our fundholders and through competitive processes managed by the Foundation.
