Welcome to the High Meadows Fund Website

Our mission is to promote vibrant communities and a healthy natural environment while encouraging long-term economic vitality in Vermont.

We believe the challenge of a changing climate is urgent and compelling. We aim to improve communities’ resiliency to more extreme and frequent climate events and to lower the risk that the climate will continue to change dramatically over time.

High Meadows' work supports leadership and innovation in overlapping areas of focus:

• Reducing reliance on fossil fuels by encouraging energy efficiency and renewable energy;
• Improving the sustainability and viability of agricultural enterprise & food security and affordability;
• Encouraging vibrant compact settlements surrounded by working farms and forests.

This web portal provides a brief introduction to our work, as well as an opportunity for us to share our learning.  We invite you to explore the resources provided, and contact us if you would like more information about the Fund or about the initiatives and partners we support.
