Mission Statement
The Vermont National Guard Charitable Foundation, Inc. (VTNGCF, registered 501c3) was founded in 2005 as a private, non-profit organization which serves to meet the emergency financial needs of Vermont military members and their families. The mission of the foundation is to provide emergency financial support to Vermont military members and their families, and to support activities and programs run by the Vermont National Guard that benefit the general public. It is the intent of the VTNGCF to make grants to appropriate and deserving service members without obligation for repayment.
The Foundation recognizes the special sacrifices made by the members of our military and their families and the hardships of such service by meeting the financial need beyond that normally provided by State and Federal agencies. The Foundation is uniquely positioned to quickly provide emergency assistance to Vermont members of the military and their families. Since its inception, the Charitable Foundation has provided in excess of $500,000 in grants to meet these needs.
Vermonters have a proud tradition of answering the country’s call to service. From Ethan Allen’s Green Mountain Boys to the men and women in the 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain), the 158th Fighter Wing, and Navy and Marine Corps units around the globe, they are answering the call today! Please consider expressing your gratitude to these brave Vermonters and their families by making a tax deductible contribution to support them in their time of need.
