Hello, Meet the Vermont Community Foundation (VCF).

We’re a collective of over 1,000 individuals, families, and businesses dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the place we call home. At the Vermont Community Foundation, we believe in the power of mission investing—where charitable giving works alongside grantmaking to drive transformative change, creating positive social and environmental impact for Vermont and beyond.

 

Give with the same intention you run your business.

At the Vermont Community Foundation, we help businesses turn their values into impact. Your giving can reflect your brand, engage your employees, and strengthen the communities where you work and live.
Whether you’re starting a campaign, launching a new product, hosting an event, or building an employee giving program, we partner with you to design something meaningful—something your team is proud of, and your community will remember. 

Ways Your Business can Give with Purpose

  • Connect your giving to your brand through a product, an event, or an employee program. We can help you build something your team is proud of, and your community will remember.
  • Engage your employees by building a culture of generosity through workplace giving programs that bring your team together.
  • Amplify moments that matter, from concerts and community events to urgent local needs, launch matching campaigns that double impact.
  • Corporate Giving Funds through the Vermont Community Foundation help you give strategically, respond quickly, and build a lasting culture of generosity—all with trusted local expertise and streamlined administration.
