GIV is turning the big 4-OH!

To mark this milestone, we want to raise enough money to cover 40 full scholarships to GIV. That’s $100,000! To reach our goal, we need the help of all of our alumni, their families, friends, and anyone who cares about uplifting Vermont's youth.

Over the last 40 years, the Governor’s Institutes of Vermont (GIV) have provided life-changing educational opportunities for thousands of young Vermonters. With your support, we can reach even more incredible young people this year and for many years to come.

Please give $40 today!

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help GIV's 40th anniversary scholarship fund. Every dollar raised will be put to immediate use, directly supporting students.

Did you know that more than 75% of our student body receives financial assistance to attend GIV? We need you to help pay it forward and support the next generation of young Vermonters to experience the transformational impact of GIV.

It is easier than ever to make your one-time or recurring gift with a credit card, PayPal, Venmo, or ACH. The coffee, snacks, or clothing you might buy with $20, $40, or $100 could instead provide the summer opportunity of a lifetime for hundreds of young Vermonters!

It's easy to support GIV:

1. Make a donation. Feeling competitive? You can credit your donation to the team of your choice from each of our four decades: the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.

2. Spread the news via social media and watch for information and invites to upcoming events to celebrate GIV's 40th anniversary.

3. Want to help GIV even more? Join a team, set your own fundraising goal, and reach out to family, friends, and co-workers.

THANK YOU!!

P.S. As an added bonus, every donor who makes a contribution to the scholarship fund will receive a limited-edition 40th anniversary sticker of Westley, GIV’s official spokescat. You can't get it anywhere else!

40 Years of GIV!

GIVe generously to support our next 40 years!
