Great news! We’ve launched a brand-new VCF portal, replacing DonorCentral with a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
We sent two emails to all registered portal users on May 7 around 12 p.m. (noon) ET.
- One automated email from the system with a personalized activation link to set your password (from philanthropy@vermontcf.org with the subject line: VCF Portal access). It was sent to the same address we had on file for your deactivated DonorCentral account. If you don’t see it, please check your spam, junk, and/or promotions folder. Still don’t see it? Reach out to us at philanthropy@vermontcf.org or 802-388-3355 opt. 5.
- One email from our team with helpful tips, links, and reminders for getting started.
Getting Started in the New Portal
- The new VCF Portal site is here: vermontcommunityfoundation.my.site.com/login. Please bookmark it, and remove your old bookmark to DonorCentral (now deactivated).
- Watch the short video above for guidance on how to set your new password.
- Visit our portal resources page for additional video tutorials and user guides based on your fund type.
- Have ideas for new video tutorials or questions not covered in the resources? Let us know! You can submit a support request directly in the portal or email us at philanthropy@vermontcf.org
- If information is missing or different from what you expect, please reach out. We want to refine our systems and improve your experience.
Looking Ahead – Making Grant Recommendations and Distribution Requests
- Monday, May 12 – First grant recommendation and distribution request deadline in the new portal. If you’d like to include a request in this round, we encourage you to submit it soon using the available tutorials or reach out to our team for assistance.
- Late May – Fund statements for the first quarter will be available in the new portal.
- Monday, June 2 – If your request isn’t time-sensitive, consider submitting it in time for the next grant recommendation and distribution request deadline in early June.
We’re here to help!
If you run into any questions or want a hand getting started, we’re just a phone call or email away. Reach us at philanthropy@vermontcf.org or 802-388-3355, opt. 5
Thank you again for your patience during this transition. We’re truly honored to support you and look forward to making your experience with the new portal a more connected and rewarding one. Every part of this upgrade—from the portal to our broader systems improvements—is designed with you in mind, so we can serve you better and grow our collective capacity to do more good across Vermont.
