Good work deserves real support.
The Bee Fund is a small grants program for Vermonters leading community-driven projects.
What we fund.
Community-led projects that bring neighbors together around a shared purpose, strengthen local connection and resilience, and create real, on-the-ground impact in Vermont.
Gatherings & dinners
Potlucks, town gatherings, community meals — the reasons to leave the house.
Land & conservation
Trail days, river cleanups, meadow restoration, and the tools to do them.
Skill shares
Repair cafes, sourdough nights, bike clinics, and neighbors teaching neighbors.
Mutual aid & care
Food drives, warm-clothing swaps, and neighbors looking out for each other.
