Description
The Fanny Holt Ames and Edna Louise Holt Fund supports the health and medical needs of residents of Grafton, Vermont, and surrounding towns. Created in 2000, the Fund has Bank of America as trustee, with Health Resources in Action supporting its operations. It gives primary consideration to Grace Cottage Hospital and priority to people with limited access to health resources.
Traditional Grants support care access, prevention, health education, intervention, treatment, evaluation, and organizational capacity. Medical needs are broadly defined to include social determinants of health, chronic and acute care, long-term care, screening, and emergency medical services. The separate Housing Initiative addresses housing as a social determinant of health. Across both opportunities, the Fund prioritizes community need, health equity, and positive, lasting impact on a significant portion of the region’s population.
