Lindsay Trust accepts requests from qualifying nonprofit organizations in Vermont for health and welfare, dental/oral health, homelessness, food-security, special-needs, youth/family-service and qualifying capital/equipment projects.

- Geographic giving area includes Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Relevant Uses
Published priorities include health and welfare, dental/oral health, organizations serving people with special needs, youth and family services including mental health, homelessness, food pantries, and related capital projects or equipment. Historical Vermont awards demonstrate funding for elder-care safety improvements and mobile/oral-health programs, but prior awards do not guarantee current eligibility for a particular project.
Application Process
First-time applicants submit a Letter of Inquiry by email to admin@lindsaytrust.org. The LOI should include the organization’s mission, history/current programming, need for support, project budget if applicable, amount requested, other funding sources, Federal Tax ID, legal address, telephone/email, and applicant name/title. Full proposals must include the required proposal information, two years of audited financial statements or Form 990s, capital budget if applicable, estimates/quotes if available, and the IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter. Proposals without financials are not reviewed.

Atlas Fit Analysis
- Atlas Opportunity Score: 73/100
- N9+ Fit: 25/100
- QC Healthcare Fit: 20/100
This is a legitimate Vermont health and human-services foundation opportunity with explicit capital/equipment and health-related priorities. N9+ or QC Healthcare fit is conditional only. The funder does not expressly identify telehealth, remote physical examination technology, or contracted clinical staffing as an eligible category. Any Dr. Miltie role must be tied to a real applicant-controlled project and verified allowability before outreach.
Vermont Targeting Notes
Realistic candidate classes include Vermont 501(c)(3) community health, dental, elder-care, behavioral-health, homelessness, food-security and special-needs nonprofits. Applicant-specific eligibility, prior-award waiting period, project scope, budget and technology/service allowability must be verified before advancement.
Next Action
Identify a Vermont 501(c)(3) with a concrete eligible project, confirm current funder acceptance and the one-year prior-award rule, then prepare a project-specific LOI. No applicant outreach should occur until project fit and recipient eligibility are verified.
