Our Program Grant Applications open in January. Please check back in mid-January to apply for a VCTF Program Grant.
The Vermont Children’s Trust Foundation Grants are for primary prevention programs, serving children ages 0-18. These programs strive to reduce the likelihood of juvenile delinquency, truancy, substance abuse, child abuse and other socially destructive behaviors before intervention by authorities, through strength-based activities in a community-based setting. These programs:
- Affirm and promote positive family functioning;
- Work to positively impact societal forces that affect parents, children and youth;
- Strive for coordinated and effective youth services, including service to at-risk youth;
- Promote racial equity and reduction of race disparities.
Please note that VCTF will give preference to NEW program ideas, conceived at the local level- we seek innovative solutions to address community needs. We generally do not provide organizational support. VCTF does not fund individuals or for-profit organizations.
