LEADERSHIP + COORDINATION
Communities across Vermont are facing similar challenges. Let's work together.
Statewide Initiatives
We provide funds, leadership and support to local United Ways for coordinated statewide efforts that provide:
SOLUTIONS FOR OPIATE ABUSE
Local United Ways across Vermont are working together to lead community conversations that educate, raise awareness and put into action collaborative strategies for prevention, treatment and recovery solutions. Read more.
TAX PREPARATION ASSISTANCE
United Ways of Vermont helps to support statewide assistance for tax preparation through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), which offers free tax help to people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.
EMERGENCY & DISASTER RELIEF
The Citizens Assistance Registry for Emergencies (CARE) is a joint project between the United Ways of Vermont and the Vermont Enhanced 9-1-1 Board that is designed to assist people during local emergencies of all kinds – from natural disasters to human-caused power outages. For elders or people with physical or mental disabilities, such events can become life-threatening if they are prolonged and no one is available to help. The CARE Program is meant to identify Vermont residents who would require special assistance in an emergency. Register now with CARE in case of emergency.
