Description
The Vermont Women's Fund, administered by the Vermont Community Foundation, is the largest philanthropic resource in Vermont dedicated to advancing gender equity and justice for women and girls. The Fund supports organizations and programs that address systemic barriers to economic well-being, promote self-sufficiency, and foster social and economic equality. Grants may support pilot or established programs, general operating costs, or initiatives that increase public awareness of the needs of women and girls. The Fund prioritizes projects that serve women and girls who are disproportionately impacted by systemic racism and sexism, and encourages collaborative, research-driven, and community-informed approaches.
