  • Create a directory of people and organizations that can receive financial resources (particularly 501c3s to receive grants and donations). Look to Vermont Community Foundation’s flood fund; Resource Generation; and local flood funds for support.
  • For short-term needs: create a local network of direct funders (N2N funds, individuals, local businesses) to make specific and sustaining asks of.
  • For long-term needs: Identify local organizations or people who have skills in making funding proposals to support the response and relief efforts. Consider creating a coalition of organizations active in response to coordinate funding requests.
  • Contact municipal government, Regional Planning Commissions, Long Term Recovery Groups, and State Representatives and Senators about funding for your community.
