The non-profit Center is seeking funding from varied sources, including individual and business donations, state and federal funds, foundation grants, and a kick-starter campaign. In addition, our four co-founders have begun the planning process by donating hundreds of hours writing grants and other fundraising, conducting interviews, running focus groups, and seeking publicity for the project. We have secured a Vermont Humanities Partnership Grant of $10,000 per year for three years.

In the spirit of equity, all donors who give $10 or more during the first two years of our planning phase (through 2025) will be recognized as Founding Funders without donation categories in digital and print materials and on the future Center’s walls.
