We are offering each Vermont Reads 2026 host organization an opportunity to apply for a grant of up to $500 to extend their programming around Charity and Sylvia. These grants can be used for items such as:
- Honoraria for guest speakers
- Screening costs for films related to the book’s themes
- Facilities charges and equipment rental costs for special events
- Transportation costs to events and/or exhibits
We will accept and review applications on a rolling basis, beginning on April 15, 2026 and ending no later than June 15, 2027. Vermont Reads grant awards can be for up to $500 each.
How to Apply
