Since 1865, Howard Center has been a trusted provider in our community, offering progressive, compassionate, high-quality care and treatment for those in need. Many of the people we serve come from the most vulnerable of our communities with limited ability to pay for the services they receive. Government funding for mental health, substance use, and developmental disability services has never been enough to cover the costs of the services we provide jeopardizing the sustainability of many services.
Please consider donating today to support the thousands of people throughout Vermont who rely on our services for their mental health, substance use, and developmental needs.
If you have any questions about the donation process, please email developmentteam@howardcenter.org.

Purple Legacy Society: Continuing the legacy of John Purple Howard and his sister Louisa Howard
In 1882, John Purple Howard made what must have seemed to be a simple donation at the time. When his sister Louisa Howard asked him to support the Ladies Aid Society, he couldn’t have known that his $200 contribution would become one of the key building blocks of today’s Howard Center.
