Advance the University of Vermont through fundraising, stewardship, and alumni engagement to support student scholarships, faculty research, campus programs, and long-term institutional priorities.
The largest recent grants all return to the same recipient: the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College received $23,071,011 in 2025, $23,032,375 in 2024, and $21,597,889 in 2023. That pattern shows a funder built around sustaining one institution at a very large scale rather than distributing across many unrelated organizations. University of Vermont and State Agricultural College Foundation Inc. supports the University of Vermont through fundraising, stewardship, and alumni engagement, with the stated aim of advancing student scholarships, faculty research, campus programs, and long-term institutional priorities. The grant list also shows support for campus-affiliated organizations in Burlington. Hillel at the University of Vermont received $561,500 in 2024, followed by $444,305 in 2025 and $380,000 in 2023, indicating repeated support over multiple years. Another campus recipient, The Catholic Center at Uvm, appears in the recent grants with awards of $20,000 in 2025 and $14,143 in 2024. These awards sit alongside the much larger institutional transfers and suggest a foundation that combines major university-level funding with targeted support for affiliated student and campus organizations.
Higher education is the clearest theme in the grant list, anchored by the repeated multimillion-dollar transfers to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College for institutional priorities. Scholarship support is part of that university-focused pattern, since the foundation’s stated purpose includes student scholarships. Campus-based community and religious life also appears in the recent grants. Hillel at the University of Vermont received $561,500 in 2024 for one of the larger non-university awards, and it also received $444,305 in 2025. Arts and culture show up through a $215,000 grant in 2025 to Painting With Purpose LLC. The recent list also includes The Catholic Center at Uvm, which received $20,000 in 2025 and $14,143 in 2024, showing support for more than one type of campus-affiliated organization.
The grant-size distribution is highly skewed: the 25th percentile is $215,000, the median is $444,305, and the 75th percentile is $21,597,889. That spread reflects a structure centered on very large institutional awards, with smaller targeted grants alongside them. The recent record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College and Hillel at the University of Vermont. University of Vermont and State Agricultural College Foundation Inc. is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking is local and entirely within Vermont.
