This Friday, January 15th, the Bennington Idea Fund team will be at the Lightning Jar (194 North Street, inside VSECU) from 9:00am to 4:30pm to talk to people and help those who are interested apply for Idea Fund grants.

The Bennington Idea Fund is a non-profit organization with a simple goal: Empower people to alleviate poverty. The Idea Fund raises money from local businesses (our investors) and supplies grants that can be used to help start a business, promote a community organization, support an individual in need, and so much more. And anyone can apply! If you’re interested in learning more about the Idea Fund, please check our website (www.benningtonideafund.org).

At Friday’s event, our team will be available to share general information about the Idea Fund, discuss specific ideas that people have for projects, and help those who are interested submit an Idea Fund grant application on the spot!
