After 20 busy and wonderful years, the Richard E. & Deborah L. Tarrant Foundation has closed. We are grateful to the countless partners who shared their passion, expertise, and hard work with us over that time. Your efforts are what enabled us to invest in people and communities throughout Vermont and beyond. As Rich said many times, we couldn’t have done anything without you.
The journey of our final project, Gone Guys, will continue under the stewardship of our longtime partners at the Vermont Community Foundation.
We are beholden to our beloved founder for his extraordinary commitment of resources, vision, and leadership. Learn more about Rich, his life, and his philanthropy here: Obituary of Richard E. Tarrant Sr.
Together, Rich and Deb built a legacy of generosity and commitment to community that will be felt for a long time. They were joined on that path by a phenomenal cohort of trustees who gave their time, analytic minds, and deep professional experience to the work. Thank you all.
