The Vermont Community Foundation: VT COVID-19 Response Fund

About

The Vermont Community Foundation announced it has established the VT COVID-19 Response Fund to support nonprofit organizations throughout the state that are particularly equipped to address community impacts of the novel coronavirus. The connected web of food pantries across Vermont, served by the Vermont Foodbank and local donations, will be under increased pressure to stay open more hours and provide more help as time goes on.

Working with partners at the state and local level, the Community Foundation will prioritize the most immediate public health and economic impacts of the new disease, focusing on vulnerable populations and the service providers that support them. The new fund's grantmaking strategy will be designed with partners who are on the front lines of both immediate response and long-term recovery.
