Opportunity Overview
The Green Mountain Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation supports charitable work in Lamoille and Orleans Counties and neighboring communities. Current priorities include increasing access to opportunity for low-income youth and families and increasing the health and wellness of children and families, alongside community, food-security, sustainability and environmental priorities.
Funding
Green Mountain Fund grants range from $500 to $5,000. The current fund page does not state a total 2026 funding pool or a mandatory match/cost-share requirement.
Who Can Apply
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, schools and municipal entities whose service area includes Lamoille or Orleans County or neighboring communities. Applicants must also satisfy the Vermont Community Foundation’s general applicant guidelines and requirements.
Deadline and Application Process
The fund has no fixed deadline. Applications may be submitted at any time through the Vermont Community Foundation Online Grants Manager. The Foundation states that notifications are usually made eight to ten weeks after submission. Grant activities must take place within one year of award.
Eligible Project Direction
The Fund prioritizes projects where a modest grant can make an impact by leveraging a new idea or other dollars. It may support new or continuing programmatic work and, in some cases, general operating support. It generally does not support capital campaigns, deficit funding or expenses already incurred.
N9+ and QC Healthcare Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 63/100. This is a verified, continuously open Vermont health, youth and school-adjacent funding source with broad nonprofit, school and municipal eligibility, but the individual award size is modest and the geographic footprint is limited.
N9+ Fit: 20/100. A remote physical examination or school-health concept could potentially align with a genuine child/family health and wellness project, but the current program guidance does not specifically authorize telehealth equipment, remote examination technology or clinical-device costs. Atlas should not represent the Nonagon N9+ as an allowable expense without applicant-specific confirmation from the funder.
QC Healthcare Fit: 10/100. A limited service-partner role could be evaluated only if a qualifying applicant develops a legitimate health-access project and the Foundation confirms the relevant costs are allowable.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie, LLC is not within the stated direct applicant classes. The credible pathway, if any, is through an eligible Vermont nonprofit, school or municipal applicant with an independently justified project. No direct Dr. Miltie submission is advanced from the current guidelines.
Next Action
Eligible organizations should confirm geographic fit, define a modest health, youth or family project, review the Vermont Community Foundation general applicant requirements, and submit electronically through the Online Grants Manager. Any N9+ or QC Healthcare component should be included only after applicant need and cost allowability are confirmed.
