The Fund for North Bennington, Inc. works to strengthen the special character of the community by conserving farmland, woodland and open spaces; by operating The Left Bank as a community hub; and by making grants in support of the arts, education, historic preservation and social services in North Bennington and its environs.

The Fund is a charitable, tax-exempt organization. Still, we must pay property taxes and operating expenses associated with conserved properties and The Left Bank. Generous donations from the community help us to cover those costs as well as to repair roads, re-plant trees, and undertake special projects on conserved land. The Left Bank requires investing in the preservation and renovation of the historic bank building, and underwriting the costs of public use of the meeting space.

To keep up with the increasing costs of a sustainable program of community grants we must add to our long-term capital resources. Public support is critical to our ability to meet these conservation expenses and to sustain our grant work.
