Becoming a corporate sponsor for Interaction is a way to demonstrate your company’s commitment to our community. In addition, we can provide you with brand visibility during our events: The Brattleboro Youth Rock Festival BrattRock(Spring and Fall Edition), the Annual Golf Tournament (July), among others.
Endowment Fund
A contribution to Interaction’s Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of both the organization and local young people and families. Bequest to the Endowment Fund and gifts of cash and securities will help ensure the agency can continue to provide high-quality services that meet the needs of Windham County area residents for years to come.
While the principal from gifts to the Fund grows untouched, income from the Fund will provide discretionary funds each fiscal year to sustain programs, help cover unanticipated financial costs, and permit the agency to both retain and attract quality staff.
Board members emeritus, the late Jesse Corum IV and Larry Cassidy have both been honored with a named fund in the Youth Services Endowment, in addition to Thomas (Tim) Cowles, who served on Court Diversion panel for 3 decades.
There are many different ways to contribute to our 50th Anniversary Endowment Campaign; transfer securities; make a pledge payable over 3 or more years; contribute from a Donor-Advised Fund; mail a check to Youth Services at 32 Walnut St. Brattleboro, VT 05302-6008 or charge a credit card once or monthly on-line.
