Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve by integrating patient care, education, and research in a caring environment.”
Its Community Health Investment Fund supports programs addressing health priorities identified through Community Health Needs Assessments. The organization says that its committee oversees the fund and that its Office of Culture, Experience and Community Health manages its operations. For the FY26 Emerging Need application, the stated priorities were building community connectedness, engaging on mental health—including substance use disorder—and increasing healthcare access. Those application materials also describe assessment considerations such as measurable impact, collaboration, financial sustainability, and support for populations affected by health disparities.
Grantees in the 2025 filing include organizations with varied community missions. For example, Hudson Headwaters Health Network describes itself as a community-based health clinic serving several counties in New York; Community Health Centers of Burlington says it seeks to improve health while serving people regardless of financial status or life circumstance; and the Intervale Center says its mission is to strengthen community food systems. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the medical center’s.
Grantmaking
The 2025 filing reports 22 grants totaling $1,759,702. Grant amounts ranged from $10,000 to $488,014, with a median of $50,000.

The filing lists the purpose of these grants as community health improvement.
The medical center’s website describes the Community Health Investment Fund as a competitive grant program investing over $1 million annually. Its FY26 Emerging Need application materials said applicants must be federally recognized nonprofit or government organizations, with fiscal sponsors allowed. Projects were required to primarily support residents of Chittenden and/or Grand Isle counties. The FY26 application announcement was dated October 17, 2025, and is a past cycle.
Review Cycle
For the FY27 Critical Need opportunity, applications are accepted until funds are exhausted; the stated monthly submission target is the 15th for review the following month.
