2025 Fall Festival Projects

Ends on

We are asking for Vermont non-profits to join us for a special month of programming in October, centered around how communities adapt to a changing world. We are offering grants of up to $2500 for innovative programs on the theme of “Resilient Patterns.”

Our Vermont Reads 2025 book, The Light Pirate, raises the question of how we choose to adapt and grow after experiencing climate-related crisis and trauma. In a flooding world, Wanda finds solace and hope in building community. 

We want to highlight similar stories of hope as Vermont cities, towns, and villages face interrelated, complex problems such as climate change and the housing crisis. 

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
