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.
The next call for Grants will be January 2024. Questions on our granting program? Please email us at grants@burlingtonfoundation.org.

Granting through the wishes of fundholders
Giving brilliantly means helping our fundholders grant their wishes annually based on their fund’s purpose.
