Description
The Vermont Women’s Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation supports organizations that drive change for women and girls in Vermont. Its grantmaking promotes ideas and programs that address their needs, advance self-sufficiency, and strengthen economic and social equality. The fund also seeks to increase public awareness of these needs and expand the roles of women and girls in society.
Established in 1994, the fund is Vermont’s largest philanthropic resource dedicated exclusively to this mission. A council of people from across the state advises the fund and participates in grantmaking, fundraising, and leadership. Past grants have supported career advancement, safe and affordable housing, high-quality childcare, transportation, technology training, food security, and opportunities for girls to thrive.
