Summary
A unique opportunity is available for nonprofit organizations working to improve the well-being of children and families in select rural communities of southern Vermont. These grants are designed to support initiatives that help children thrive by addressing basic human needs and breaking the cycle of poverty. Funding may be used to support access to food, healthcare, clothing, educational enrichment, and emergency assistance. While primarily intended for nonprofits, some forms of crisis support may reach individuals through community referrals.
Grant awards vary depending on need and project scope. Smaller requests under $5,000 are commonly supported and distributed more frequently throughout the year, while larger initiatives may be eligible for more substantial funding, sometimes exceeding $10,000. The level of reporting required depends on the size of the grant, ensuring that funds are used effectively without placing unnecessary burden on smaller programs.
Eligibility is focused on nonprofit organizations with a clear mission to serve youth and families in underserved areas. Applicants should be based in or serve specific towns located in the southern Vermont region, including communities in mountain valleys and surrounding rural areas. Proposals that address food insecurity, child wellness, warm clothing needs, access to education, or support during times of crisis are especially encouraged.
This funding is not available to for-profit businesses or individuals applying directly, though individuals facing hardship may benefit from grants distributed through qualified community-based organizations. Grant opportunities are offered through several cycles each year, with additional flexibility for urgent needs. Whether responding to a natural disaster or supporting a long-term educational program, this grant opportunity offers meaningful support to help create healthier, safer futures for children in rural communities.
Interested organizations should consider the alignment of their goals with the broader effort to create lasting impact for children and families experiencing hardship in this region.
