The Brandon Town Hall needs you! Though the restoration project has been awarded a number of major grants (our major donors are listed at the bottom of this page), and we're applying for more, we cannot succeed without the support of community members and friends like you.

The Current Phase

We are currently raising the funds necessary to install a new sprinkler system in the Town Hall, at a cost of $72,000. With over $30,000 received and pledged so far, we're on a roll, but we still need your help.

The sprinkler system is all we need to re-open the Town Hall from May through October, so you can make a big difference by donating now!

Challenge grants of $7,500 from the National Bank of Middlebury, and $2,500 from First Brandon Bank give your donation even more power.
