heineman doesn’t fund in Vermont.
Hi Mary,
Thank you for the astute catch! Heineman definitely does not focus on VT, but according to their website, they don’t explicitly restrict any other geographic locations, even if chances ‘are remote’ (see below). Maybe not at the top of the list for VT grant-seekers, but leave no stone unturned right?
“Although applicants from other areas are not excluded, applicants from those areas should be aware that their chances for funding are remote.”
