Frequently asked questions
Does the Foundation make only grants, or does it also invest for return?
The Foundation uses both grants and recoverable investments. Its Vermont Mission Investment Portfolio extends below-market-rate loans to affordable-housing developers, farmland-conservation groups, and small-business projects. It also owns income-producing commercial real estate in Vermont downtowns, and it allocates capital to venture investments through the Hula Fund. Traditional grants still represent the majority of annual deployment.
What are the Foundation's largest affiliated component funds?
Four named funds sit inside the Foundation's structure: the J. Warren & Lois McClure Foundation (college access and career education), the Samara Fund (LGBTQ+ priorities), the Curtis Fund (early childhood education and child-care access), and the Vermont Women's Fund (economic security for women and girls). Each operates as a sub-fund with its own advisory committee and granting priorities, but assets are pooled within the Foundation's overall investment portfolio.
