Better Together: Inspiring giving and bringing together people and resources to make a difference in Vermont.
The Kelsey Trust’s grant program has specific goals tailored towards improving the wellbeing of the Lake Champlain Basin community, focusing on several key areas for their Winter cycle. These areas include support for children-at-risk by funding programs that address their educational, emotional, nutritional, and social needs, as well as their families. Additionally, the Trust emphasizes health & nutrition by aiming to promote health and well-being in underserved populations, including programs that provide essential nutrition to needy families. The guiding principles of the grant program are to meet basic human needs—food, fuel, shelter—while supporting the overall health of the community and its environmental sustainability.
