Vermont Community Foundation releases new Insight Hub Brief – August 25, 2021:
Early in 2021, the Vermont Community Foundation officially launched its Insight Hub to provide charitable Vermonters with actionable insight to inform their giving. Powered by the Community Foundation’s experience and research, and informed by the lived experience of Vermonters, the Insight Hub offers webinars, events, briefs, and peer-to-peer experiences that help philanthropists understand where their giving can make a difference in Vermont. The latest brief shares three actions to take today to support Vermont’s arts and cultural organizations.
“How do you plan a budget when you don’t know what your box office is going to look like or what your sales are going to look like. It’s a profoundly unsettling time,” notes Karen Mittelman, executive director of the Vermont Arts Council.

The Vermont Community Foundation inspires giving and brings people and resources together to make a difference in Vermont. A family of hundreds of funds and foundations, we provide the advice, investment vehicles, and back-office expertise that make it easy for the people who care about Vermont to find and fund the causes they love.
The heart of the Community Foundation’s work is closing the opportunity gap—the divide that leaves too many Vermonters struggling to get ahead, no matter how hard they work. We are aligning our time, energy, and discretionary resources on efforts that provide access to early care and learning, pathways to college and career training, support for youth and families, and community and economic vitality. We envision Vermont at its best—where everyone has the opportunity to build a bright, secure future. Visit vermontcf.org or call 802-388-3355 for more information.
