The State is has several grants available to communities through the "Building Communities Grants Programs." Most of these are available to towns and nonprofits. They are for historic preservation, cultural facilities, recreational facilities, human services, health care, education, and agricultural fairs. One grant program is available to private citizens (Historic Barn & Ag Buildings).
Here is a link to descriptions of the grants: http://bgs.vermont.gov/sites/bgs/files/pdfs/BGS-Grants-Summary.pdf
This and other materials are at this state website under "Grants": http://bgs.vermont.gov/formsandpublications
If your nonprofit can utilize any of these, go for it!
Or, if someone sees a Town need, and will volunteer to do the grant, talk to us! As a Selectboard, we are busy with previous grants, applications to FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program and so on, but if someone wants to lead the charge and take responsibility for another grant effort that could benefit the town, let us know.
