Donations to HSCVT Now Worth Twice As Much
Thanks to a highly competitive, prestigious grant awarded to the City of Montpelier to administer to Home Share of Central Vermont, all donations to HSCVT right now will be worth twice as much.
That’s because the multi-year grant — $200,000 from the Vermont Community Development Program — is contingent upon HSCVT raising matching funds, including $24,000 from individuals this year.
Williamstown and Morristown joined Montpelier and HSCVT as consortium partners on behalf of Orange and Lamoille counties.
When Governor Jim Douglas announced the grant in July, HSCVT was one of just 10 projects statewide that submitted successful grant proposals. The community development program administers federal money after a rigorous screening process.
“All of today’s recipients are making a positive and important contribution to our economy and our state’s well-being,” Governor Douglas said. HSCVT was chosen as a recipient to meet increased demand for home sharing matches in Washington County, and strengthen expansion in Lamoille and Orange counties.
“This extraordinary opportunity means that whatever any individual gives to HSCVT will go twice as far this year,” observes Director Betsy Reid. “And every gift will be greatly appreciated.”
