Donation Initiatives
BBF General Fund
Making a donation to the BBF general fund provides support for BBF’s primary initiatives, including but not limited to supporting 12 Regional Councils; monitoring Vermont’s early childhood system and national policy priorities; using evidence and data to inform policy and decision-making; fostering family and community partnership and engagement; bringing cross-sector stakeholders together to coordinate and develop strategies toward key initiatives (such as pre-K, child care, nutrition, early identification, early childhood and family mental health); and serving as the primary advisor to the Governor and Legislature on the well-being of children and families.
Vermont Early Childhood Fund
Over the past three years, the Vermont Early Childhood Fund (VECF) provided a total of $325,000 in grant funds generously donated by an anonymous donor and through the Vermont Community Foundation’s Sunflower Fund. The VECF has also been used as a mechanism to distribute nearly $6 million in funds awarded to the state of Vermont through a federal preschool development grant. The last of this funding will be disbursed in 2025.
We are now accepting donations to build this fund so that we can continue to meet the needs of children and their families beyond 2025.
