The Vermont Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Crosby-Gannett Fund to support endeavors that contribute to the betterment and vitality of the Brattleboro area. To help address the impact of the current coronavirus pandemic, the Crosby-Gannett Fund is temporarily focusing its grantmaking on efforts that address basic community needs related to the pandemic.
Recognizing the impact of this crisis on the operations of local nonprofits, the fund is temporarily expanding its criteria for funding to also include general operating requests. Priority will be given to organizations located in the immediate Brattleboro area.
The Crosby-Gannett Fund was established at the Vermont Community Foundation in 2009 with the assets of the Crosby Foundation, which was dissolved in December 2008.
