Christopher,
Thanks so much for taking the time to moderate this forum on grant questions about the Vermont Community Foundation's Fall 2010 Grant Round.Just some basic questions to start off:
1) What are essential deadlines applicants should be aware of?
2) Who should be applying for Fall 2010 Grants?
3) Where can one find application information?
Thanks!

Hi,
sorry I am late, i had some log in quirks.
I have a question about the budget. If we are writing for a project, how do we send a budget for the project. The budget asked for attachment is an organizational budget?

Most Vermont Nonprofit Organizations with budgets under $1.5 million are eligible to apply although there are a few exceptions.
More information can be found here:

Oh, I see, I thought it was optional to do either general support OR a project?'Thanks for the clarification!

Hi,
Thanks for doing this forum.Is it possible to apply for both an operating support grant and a project grant at the Sept 3 deadline?
For the special project, we would apply under either sustainable or successful communities - to create and an exhibit and programs to promote civic engagement. Which category?
I looked at the guidelines for the various dedicated funds, and there does not seem to be a good fit there, with the exception of the Walter Cerf fund. Do you have any more suggestions?
Thank you

Hi Ann,
This grant round is only for general operating support, with a couple of specific exceptions that apply only if you are a school or municipality.
Because this grant round round is to support your full organization, I would suggest you apply under Sustainable Communities - Cultural Heritage.

Thanks Chris - PS, I like this forum idea.
Best,

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if there is a way to have multiple logins for the same grant application. Or am I supposed to share my username/password with others who need to view/edit the application?
Thanks!

Hi Karyn,
Good question - your login should be for your organization, not you as an individual. Share the login name and password with the people at your organization that need to work on your application. BUT make sure that everyone is in agreement on who gets to do the final proofreading and hit "submit!"
Cheers,
Christopher -
