What is the difference between the Trust Fund and the Vermont Childrens Forum and the Vermont Childrens Aid Society?
The Vermont Children’s Trust Fund awards grants for prevention programs. The Vermont Children’s Aid Society was founded as an adoption agency and works mostly with adoption and foster parents, which are intervention programs. The Vermont Children’s Forum (now called Voices for Vermont Children) is an advocacy group for policy issues. Both organizations have received funding from the Trust Fund for prevention programs they have provided from time to time.
