2026 Grant Recipients

Funded by the towns of Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston and Moretown, MRVRD received 17 grant applications seeking a total of $79,377 in funding requests. With careful consideration for the best use of its limited funds and to spread support among as many worthy organizations as possible, MRVRD will spend $69,900 on grants in 2026, up from $55,298 awarded in 2025, a 27% increase. With four towns instead of three we have more funds to extend to our community. This year we fully or partially funded all 17 grant requests in addition to budgeting $4,000 for swim lessons for first and second graders in our member towns.
