Burlington Foundation grants to a wide range of charitable organizations.
Grants are made in two basic ways: through the wishes of our fundholders, and through our Burlington Community Fund Granting Program. Each year we invite local organizations to apply to our Burlington Community Fund Call for Grants. Our annual granting program addresses the highest priority needs of our community, as well as several field of interest focus areas. Granting typically occurs annually (in Fall or early Winter) and application details will be posted here.
Our next round of community grants will open in Fall 2025. Subscribe to our newsletter by signing up here to be notified when applications open.

Community Needs Guide
The Foundation has compiled a Community Needs Guide as a resource to learn more about charitable organizations, their programming, and needs in our community. This guide includes projects the Foundation was not able to fund in its Fall 2024 round of community granting, as well as a full list and summary of projects that were supported. Please feel free to share this resource to help enhance awareness around local needs, as well as the work of charitable organizations that are creating such a meaningful impact.
