Step One: Learn about resources for your area
Some specific resources are available for organizations working in the Brattleboro area.
The library cooperates with Brattleboro’s Sustainability Coordinator, Stephen Dotson, who works closely with nonprofit organizations and grant-funded projects in the area. He can assist in various aspects of grant-funded work, such as forming a 501c3, connecting with fiscal sponsors, and coordinating efforts with existing projects. If you would like assistance from Stephen and his staff, there are places to note that on the form below.
All grant seekers for Vermont projects will want to review these funders and their priorities:
- Windham Foundation – https://www.windham-foundation.org/grant-application-process
- Thomas Thompson Trust – http://www.thomasthompsontrust.org/grant-guidelines.html
- Crosby-Gannett Fund – https://vermontcf.org/our-impact/programs-and-funds/crosby-gannett-fund/

We welcome your questions via this form and will be happy to help you access Foundation Center Online, which is free to all visitors to the Brooks Memorial Library on Main Street in Brattleboro.
