Vermont FY27 Community Supported Agriculture Grant

Forthcoming Vermont FY27 funding for eligible early childhood programs and Vermont nonprofits to provide local food through community supported agriculture shares. VAAFM lists $150,000 total funding, no award minimum or maximum, and no match requirement. Atlas is holding publication and applicant execution because the FY27 RFA is still marked coming soon, current VAAFM pages conflict on the application opening date, and the November 12, 2026 deadline does not yet include an authoritative time or time zone.

Required next actionHOLD publication, scoring, applicant outreach, package work, and direct-vendor classification until VAAFM posts the FY27 RFA and Atlas reconciles the official opening-date discrepancy (program page says September 29, 2026; funding-opportunities table says October 2, 2026), verifies the exact deadline time and time zone, and confirms all current eligibility, submission, documentation, and restriction requirements.

Broad Eligibility

Current VAAFM page lists Center Based Child Care and Preschool Programs, Registered Family Child Care Home Providers, and non-profit organizations located in Vermont as eligible applicants. The forthcoming FY27 RFA must be checked before applicant-specific execution.

Atlas Analysis

Materially relevant to Vermont early childhood/education scope. Official VAAFM materials currently show $150,000 total funding, no award minimum or maximum, no match, and WebGrants as the application system. Verification remains fail-closed because the FY27 RFA is not yet posted, the Agency's current pages disagree on whether applications open September 29 or October 2, 2026, and no exact deadline time/time zone is stated.
