Ashgate Publishing Company Grant

Since the year 2000, Ashgate Publishing Company in Burlington has devoted a large portion of its annual charitable contributions to support libraries around the state.
Through its library donations program, Ashgate makes grants to public libraries in Vermont for special one-time projects and needs (as opposed to standard operating expenses and book budgets) as they arise.
Ashgate's charitable donations committee decides what amount to donate to which library (full or partial grants), in consultation with the company's staff members.  Ashgate does NOT make grants in support of capital campaigns, operating budgets, or general collection development.
Questions about this grant should be submitted via email to:
astevens@ashgate.com or nwilley@ashgate.com.
