Polly Rowe Memorial Fund

The Polly Rowe Fund was developed in 2002 after the passing of one of our founders and long-time volunteers. Polly helped start HomeShare Vermont and volunteered with us for over 18 years. She also shared her home with many homesharers over the years. Since then, many friends of HomeShare have added to the fund, and the income helps sustain HomeShare Vermont. Please consider a bequest or a gift to this fund, which helps secure our future.

Fund established at the Vermont Community Foundation

In 2010, the HomeShare Vermont Board of Directors dedicated some of the Polly Rowe donations to establish the “HomeShare Vermont Fund” at the Vermont Community Foundation (VCF). These funds will be invested and monitored by the VCF and annual distributions generate income for HomeShare Vermont. By partnering with VCF, our donors now have access to more sophisticated financial and legal vehicles to make gifts. With several of these tools, the donor can receive lifetime income as well as an immediate tax deduction. These include charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, bequests and other types of planned giving. Planned gifts provide an ongoing source of income to assure the long-term viability and sustainability of our programs. As a community-based organization, even small bequests can offer a meaningful income stream. Please contact Executive Director Kirby Dunn to learn more about adding HomeShare Vermont to your estate plans.

Financial Transparency

HomeShare Vermont believes in openness and ethical communication in all that we do. We want our donors and supporters to have full access to information regarding the financial health of the organization. We invite you to explore the following link for more information on the budget and the financial health of the organization. Our most recent audit is also available upon request.

Thank you so much for helping to ensure that elders and others in our community have continued access to this important service.
