Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Vermont Community Foundation, and the Trout Lily Foundation we are able to offer direct support to those impacted by the flooding. Our current grant programs include the Laundry Love, Remembering Joy, EHA, and Gap grants. To apply, fill out this application and someone from our Rainbow Response Team will be in touch with you.
Laundry Love Grant
This grant, generously sponsored by a wonderful donor Gail, will fund the replacement or repair of washers and dyers destroyed or damaged during the flood as well as pay for laundry services like coin-op or dry cleaners.
Remembering Joy Grant
This grant is about the revitalizing power of play. For those impacted by the flood, we will provide event tickets, pay for access to museums or other area attractions, provide art kits, or pay for a workshop or class that allows you to reconnect to joy. Pleasure is healing.
