Help shape the future of local news in Vermont! The Vermont Community Foundation is conducting a statewide project to understand how Vermonters get their local news and information, what’s working, and what’s missing.

Habitat for Aviation is partnering with VCF to host a listening session for our community. We invite you to join a 90-minute listening session where you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas—what matters to you, what you rely on, and how local information could better serve you and your neighbors.

Location: 629 Airport Rd, Swanton, VT 05488

Date and time: October 15, 2025 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Spots are limited, and preregistration is required. Register here.

Your input will directly inform recommendations to strengthen Vermont’s local media ecosystem that will be shared with local news providers statewide. To thank you for your time and perspective, participants will be offered a $50 Visa gift card. Refreshments will be provided.

If you have questions about this project or VCF’s Press Forward Vermont initiative, please email grants@vermontcf.org.

If you can’t attend the listening session, but still want to share your views on local news, please fill out VCF’s community news survey. The survey can be found at this link.

✅ Please share the survey with friends, family, or community groups. (Not for posting on social media please! Too many bots.)
