Better Together: Inspiring giving and bringing together people and resources to make a difference in Vermont.
The Regional and Local Impact (RALI) grant program is an invitation-only, place-based initiative aiming to support projects with strong community engagement. It focuses on ideas that address key Impact Areas, with a preference for projects demonstrating readiness, capacity, collaboration, knowledge of best practices, and solid evaluation plans. RALI grants usually range from $15,000 to $25,000 per year for up to two years. The program emphasizes five Impact Areas: Economic Equity, Education & Training, Climate & Environment, Health & Wellbeing, and Democracy, Trust, & Community Leadership, encouraging strategies that align with these focuses.
