News and Events

The Family Place will join nonprofits throughout Vermont to participate in Vermont Gives, the state’s second annual day of online giving, to be held on May 17th. Initiated by Common Good Vermont, in collaboration with the Vermont Community Foundation and other local sponsors, this event will raise funds and awareness for nonprofit organizations located throughout the state.

Fueled by the power of social media, Vermont Gives unites nonprofits in a call to action to raise critical funds they need to make our valley a better place to live, work, play and serve. It is modeled after the internationally popular Giving Tuesday, but this initiative is more regionalized, encouraging Vermont donors to give local first. All money raised here, stays here. Donations can be made online at https://www.vermontgives.org/organizations/the-family-place

The Family Place hopes to raise funds and awareness of their mission to deliver comprehensive programs designed to strengthen positive relationships, teach essential skills and promote enduring healthy growth for families with young children in the Upper Valley and surrounding communities.

“As nonprofits all across the Green Mountain State face many unknowns with state and federal funding cuts, Vermont Gives is an opportunity to come together to further build a community of philanthropy and giving. We look forward to this opportunity to further our missions together to create a stronger, more vibrant nonprofit sector.” – Lauren-Glenn Davitian, Executive Director of Common Good Vermont.
