Town of East Montpelier, Vermont · Grants Committee
About the Grants Committee
The East Montpelier Grants Committee works to identify and secure funding opportunities that strengthen our town’s resilience, infrastructure, safety, environmental stewardship, and quality of life — coordinating grant applications, evaluating community priorities, and supporting projects that bring lasting value to residents while reducing the burden on local taxpayers.
Residents, organizations, and community partners are encouraged to submit ideas and funding requests that align with the town’s long-term goals. Here’s how to get involved:
1. Tell us how you’d like to help
Join the working group, champion a specific project, or share an idea — it starts with one short survey.
2. Have a specific grant request?
Fill out the interactive Grant Approval Form below and submit it to the Grants Committee. This is a commitment to support a grant from application through execution.
