• To educate the estimated 60,000 uninsured Vermonters about and assist them with enrolling in, a state sponsored health insurance program.

Currently, the Education Fund has a Montpelier-based director and five field staff working to assist Vermonters based in Chittenden, Franklin and Addison County. Our goal is to have a field staff based in each of Vermont's 14 counties.

The Education Fund was established in January of 2007 by AARP Vermont, the Vermont-National Education Association, the Vermont Public Interest Research Group and the Vermont Citizens Campaign for Health. America's Agenda: Health Care for All.

Beginning December 1^st, the Education Fund in conjunction with Vermont Interfaith Action is undertaking a faith based health care outreach campaign to engage Vermont’s faith communities to help Vermonters learn about and enroll in Catamount Health, VHAP and Medicaid. Our goal is to mobilize Vermont’s faith communities both in support of the Education Fund’s public education work and  our effort to expand the eligibility criteria for Catamount Health.
