Accessibility & Scholarship Fund

We never want finances to be a barrier for a child, family, or adult to enroll in our programs.  This Fund helps ensure all students have the opportunity to enjoy our camps, field trips, workshops, and other programs, and we are grateful for the many supporters who make special gifts to this Fund.

Endowment Fund

An educational organization and historic property as extensive and complex as Shelburne Farms needs a significant endowment to assure its long-term sustainability.  Shelburne Farms current endowment is undersized for an organization with a $12M budget, and the endowment generates just 3% of the nonprofit’s annual operating revenue. Growing our endowment is critical to the Farm’s continued success. By making a special gift to the Endowment Fund, you ensure the continued success of Shelburne Farms and all of our programs educating for a sustainable future, now and for generations to come.  Thank you!
