Grants

The Lake Morey Foundation will consider grant requests that support our goal:

“to protect, preserve, conserve and enhance Lake Morey in Fairlee, VT, and its watershed and viewshed as an environmental, recreational and economic resource.”

Any organization may request project funding for this stated purpose. We accept grant requests at any time and award funding throughout the year. In order to have your project or initiative considered, please complete the following steps:

After receipt of the grant request form and supporting documentation, the Grant Review Committee will evaluate your proposal and make a funding determination. The Committee may submit the request to the Foundation’s Board of Directors for further consideration. The Grant Review Committee may request that you or a representative of your organization answer additional questions or appear at a meeting to discuss your application. Available project funding is subject to budgetary limits established annually by the Lake Morey Foundation.
