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.

Whether you’re passionate about your town, statewide or national causes, or disaster relief and preparedness, we’re here to help ensure your charitable giving has impact —while also making it easier to give to the causes you care about and leverage potential tax advantages.

Insight: Receive and explore analysis and VCF insights on key issues facing Vermont, such as housing, mental health, climate and the environment, economic development, and more.
Impact: Better understand how your giving can be most effective by receiving guidance from professionals, stories of philanthropists across the state, and invitations to connect with other funders to deepen the impact of your giving.
Joy: You focus on the joy of making a difference and supporting causes that matter to you. We simplify the giving process by offering a donor portal to manage all your donations and grants and handling all the back-office logistics.

Not sure where to begin? Our Giving Quiz is a fun and insightful way to identify the causes and styles that resonate most with you, helping you tailor your giving—ensuring your dollars can do more for Vermont and beyond.

Interested in opening a fund of your own? Speak with a Philanthropic Advisor about what is best for your family, your business, or as a complement to your private foundation. Or you can explore giving to an existing fund at the Community Foundation. Your involvement can make a real difference in our shared mission to see Vermont—and Vermonters—thrive.

Thank you for considering the Vermont Community Foundation as your partner in philanthropy. Together, we create a brighter future for Vermont.

Give where your heart lives. We can’t wait to partner with you

Warmly,

Stacie Fagan
VP for Philanthropy
