The Vermont Community Loan Fund is located in the heart of historic downtown Montpelier. For more information on our loan programs, or to learn how you can make an investment, please contact us.

We were using a small-scale system, so you had to remove each bag and heat-seal it.  We found a bagger, but it was a ton of money for us.  We weren't large and banks weren't interested in helping us. VCLF approved our loan and we were able to buy it.  It solidified our place in the market.

Pension Plan Act

Use Your IRA Account to Donate to VCLF!

You invest in, and give to, the Loan Fund because you know we’ll put your money to the best possible use: creating opportunity.

Thanks to the Pension Protection Act of 2006, for the first time ever, you can now use your IRA account to accomplish your philanthropic goals. You can now make charitable gifts of up to $100,000 tax-free directly out of your IRA account; the amount of your contribution will be excluded from your gross income. You must be at least 70 ½ years of age at the time of the gift, and only gifts made directly to the Loan Fund, not investments, will qualify.

Please contact your tax professional, or Jake Ide, the Loan Fund’s Director of Development, for more information.
