OUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY: The mission of the Stratton Foundation is to enhance the quality of life and create a sense of community in Southern Vermont. In order to achieve this mission the Stratton Foundation seeks members, creates events and programs, solicits contributions, and distributes grants to non-profit organizations in the community.
Bennington Habitat has been the recipient of three Stratton Foundation grants over the past several years. Grants are often given as seed money with a special emphasis on those situations where a moderate amount of grant money can achieve a significant result.
"While we understand a modest grant does not go far when building a home, we hope that in some small way we can support the crucial work that Habitat does for individuals in our communities." Barbara McCarty on behalf of the Stratton Foundation
Barbara visited the Shaftsbury home with Harry Chandler, board member and treasurer during August of 2005.

Foundation for the Preservation of Green Mountain History
One of Raymond Kopituk’s last decisions before he passed away in late September 2006 was that the Bennington Area Habitat affiliate would receive a generous gift. A long term Dorset resident, Raymond Kopituk quietly helped many local organizations. Mr. Kopituk loved Vermont and took special pleasure in helping Vermont residents. He knew that Habitat assisted hard working people to help themselves. He respected the fact that each adult in a Habitat family contributes a minimum of 250 hours of sweat equity and that families pay an interest free mortgage which in turn is used to build another Habitat home for another area family.
