Northeast Kingdom Fund - Vermont Community Foundation The Northeast Kingdom Fund is a permanent philanthropic resource that makes annual grant awards to support the people and communities of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans counties. For the Kingdom, by the Kingdom.
The fund was established in 2011 by the Community Foundation and local partners with the strong belief that this region exemplifies the best of Vermonters’ aspirations for their communities, and through its annual grantmaking, offers opportunities for people in the Kingdom to help each other. More than 90 nonprofits, municipalities, and schools in the region have received grants from the fund since 2012.
A committee of local residents carefully reviews all proposals and chooses the grant recipients. This is the philanthropic equivalent of the “buy local” movement—philanthropy for the Kingdom and by the Kingdom. In most cases, grants are awarded to small-scale projects where a modest philanthropic investment makes a big difference.
In some cases, more established organizations are also included in the awards. In all cases, grantees must demonstrate that their projects are led by Kingdom residents and support people living in the three counties. The fund’s assets are invested by the Foundation to support the region’s current needs while providing resources for future generations to address emerging needs.
Five percent of these assets are invested in Vermont, including the Northeast Kingdom. What does the NEK Fund support? The Northeast Kingdom Fund supports opportunities in which a modest grant can leverage a new idea or other grant dollars, or make possible a project or idea that will benefit the people and communities in the Northeast Kingdom.
Applicants must demonstrate that the beneficiaries of a grant from the Northeast Kingdom Fund will be the people and communities of the Northeast Kingdom. What type of applications does the NEK Fund prioritize? Grant funding will prioritize applications from projects and/or organizations that are based in the Northeast Kingdom and provide services directly to the community.
We are looking to support projects that have emerged from the local community and/or projects that are in direct response to community need. What does the NEK Fund not support? In general, the fund is not able to support capital campaigns, normal operating expenses, deficit funding, or lost revenue.

All gifts are subject to a federally required amendment or variance power that permits the Vermont Community Foundation to vary from the terms and conditions of agreements with donors relative to the purpose, investment, and management of its funds subject to the procedural requirements of Vermont state law. In practice, the Foundation uses this variance power rarely and only if the needs of the community have shifted.
The Foundation will be in communication with donors should such a shift occur.
