How to Support the Strafford Community Trust

 

We hope everyone in town can pitch in in the effort to save our general store! Know the phrase "it takes a village"? Well, we think that means all of us!

 

So, thank you for your intention to make a charitable gift to the Strafford Community Trust (SCT)!

Here's how: 
 

Until we acquire our own 501 c(3) status (which is in process), the Preservation Trust of Vermont (PTV) serves as our fiscal sponsor. All contributions go to PTV and then are granted to SCT. 100% of your gift will go to our local project; PTV does not take a percentage or administrative fee!

 

GIVE BY CREDIT CARD: Make a one-time donation or a monthly recurring credit card gift on-line using our project’s secure donation page. 

​

​

 

MAIL A CHECK TO PTV’S OFFICE: Please note on the check that the gift is for Strafford Community Trust. Also, please note how you (or your family) would like to be listed in PTV’s Annual Report. Let them know if the gift is in honor or in memory of someone important to you, or if your contribution is anonymous. Mail your check and info to:
