Vermont Community Foundation

The Town of Westmore in association with the RAMP (Recreation Access Management Planning) Group recently received a $5000.00 grant from the Northeast Kingdom Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation. The grant will help further the RAMP’s mission of improving safety on VT Route 5A by successfully completing a VTrans Scoping Study of the road. “This generous grant from the NEK Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation brings Westmore one step closer to our goal of making the state road through the center of our village a safer place for the community. We are very appreciative of this help and hope one day to have a village that feels like a safer place for residents and visitors to work, play and visit.” ~Peggy Zimmer, RAMP The Vermont Community Foundation was established in 1986 as an enduring source of philanthropic support for Vermont communities. A family of more than 1,000 funds, foundations, and supporting organizations, the Foundation makes it easy for the people who care about Vermont to find and fund the causes they love. The Community Foundation and its partners put more than $60 million annually to work in Vermont communities and beyond. The heart of its work is closing the opportunity gap—the divide that leaves too many Vermonters struggling to get ahead, no matter how hard they work. The Community Foundation envisions Vermont at its best—where everyone can build a bright, secure future. Visit vermontcf.org or call 802-388-3355 for more information.
