Projects
2023 Flood
The Montpelier Foundation played a major role in the reconstruction of downtown Montpelier following the flood of 2023. In partnership with Montpelier Alive, the Foundation raised more than $2 million dollars. These funds were used to provide grants to homeowners and businesses, many of whom suffered devastating economic losses.
​
The Foundation also partnered with the City of Montpelier and Montpelier Alive to create the Commission for Recovery and Resilience. The Commission identifies and coordinates recovery and resilience projects and strategies for Montpelier.​​
