Vermont Community Action Team Grant Program
This program provides small grants to Vermont non-profits and community initiatives that support under-served populations and address basic human needs, with a focus on volunteer-led organizations and innovative projects.
The Vermont Community Action Teams (CATs) offer general or project support within the broad guidelines and funding provided by the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation. Every month, the CATs make small grants, generally under $2,000, to various local, community-based Vermont non-profit programs and community celebrations. In addition to making small grants, the CATs plan community service projects for all employees at their sites. Priorities include: Under-served populations including seniors, at-risk youth and low income communities; Basic human needs and the needs of underserved areas of the state; Organizations that are primarily volunteer-led; Organizations that have the demonstrated support of their community ; Organizations that are not relying exclusively on funding from the Ben & Jerry's Foundation; Innovative programs, and groups that might not have access to more mainstream sources of support.
