From Vandalia Youth Theatre productions and After Prom events to a hydrophonic grow wall at a local school and replenishments for the Vandalia-Butler Food Pantry, the Vandalia-Butler Foundation supports worthy causes in the community through discretionary grants.
In addition, the foundation awards an annual $1,500 grant through its Small Business Opportunity Fund to a local business for technology enhancements, professional development, marketing or other initiatives that will spur growth.
Applications for both opportunities are being accepted through Sept. 30. Recipients will be notified of the awards by Oct. 15.

The Vandalia-Butler Foundation and its funds are components of The Dayton Foundation. Leadership for the Vandalia-Butler Foundation rests in our own community, while fiscal oversight of our funds is maintained by The Dayton Foundation, which serves the Dayton/Miami Valley area. This partnership allows for the Vandalia-Butler community to benefit from local leadership and profit from resources pooled with others for investment growth.
