The Stratton Foundation is a community based non-profit organization that cares about the health and welfare of children and their families in southern Vermont. Our mission is to address the challenges that stand between a child and the opportunity to be healthy, safe, and educated. It is the Foundation’s desire to facilitate the startup of new, and advancement of critically needed services, execute programs of necessity, and respond to crisis associated with poverty, hunger, health, necessities, and disaster.

Vermont is not only where we come to play and where we have our homes. It’s also where we have our hearts.

In 25 years, the Stratton Foundation has raised $6 Million, helping THOUSANDS of families.  Giving to the Foundation provides the opportunity to respond quickly to the changing needs of the community as they arise, focusing on Hunger, Basic Necessities, Health, Emergencies and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Education.

Together we are making an impact on a child’s life that helps them today, inspires them tomorrow, remains with them for a lifetime, and breaks the cycle of generational poverty.

Together, we are making a difference!


The Stratton Foundation is having an impact not just on one life, on one day, but over time, in building and strengthening the community that will have an impact over and over again.

We are fortunate to have the Stratton Foundation in our community.
