The mission of the new Vermont Catholic Community Foundation is to support and serve apostolic activities of the Church and make grants to nonprofit organizations in the statewide Diocese of Burlington that reflect the compassion of Christ in service to the community. The Foundation reflects the core values of the Catholic faith and brings the community together to express those values in various ways. Whether it is opening a fund to provide financial aid to students who could not otherwise afford a Catholic education; leaving a legacy gift to a local parish for future operations; or contributing to the emergency aid fund for the most vulnerable Vermonters, the Foundation provides many pathways for individuals and Catholic organizations support what matters most to them.
