Guidelines, Procedures, and Contact Information for the Lintilhac Foundation

The flagship projects of the Lintilhac Foundation have been the support of the midwifery program at Fletcher Allen Health Care and support for student scholarships and scientific research at the University of Vermont and Middlebury College. The Foundation has also moved aggressively to address consumer and environmental advocacy issues and believes it is important to make polluters — not taxpayers — pay to clean up toxic wastes and pollution in Vermont streams and ground water. The Foundation also works to foster a new generation of clean, renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies.

Grant application guidelines

• The Foundation does not use a formal application form. Proposals should set forth specific objectives, detailed estimate budgets, qualifications of the organization and individuals who will be responsible for the project, and the documents substantiating the tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code. Two copies of the application are required.
• In general, the Foundation’s grant program emphasizes institutions and organizations serving the people of north central Vermont, including Chittenden, Lamoille, and Washington counties.
• In general, funds are distributed to those projects that are self-generated and endeavor to identify needs within the community. These projects generally require seed funding with associated matching grants and have prospects of becoming self-supporting.
• Applications from individuals or for emergency funds will not be considered.
• Directors will generally consider one application from an organization in any given year.

Review procedures

• The Directors meet quarterly to consider grant requests. The Directors’ review of applications frequently requires more than one meeting and it may therefore take several months before a final decision is rendered.
• Requests for appointments will be considered after an application has been received for initial review.
• The director of an organization whose proposal meets the eligibility requirements and is complete may be asked to meet with the Directors.
