Purpose and Overview:
The Thompson
Trust limits its distribution of funds to organizations located in Windham County, Vermont, (primarily the Town of Brattleboro)
or in Dutchess County, New York (primarily the Town of Rhinebeck) which predominately serve residents located in those areas.
The Will of Thomas Thompson was executed in 1867 and defined his charitable purposes rather narrowly as was the practice with
19th Century philanthropy. By successive court decrees in the 20th Century, the Trustees are now authorized to make grants
to charitable organizations whose work and purposes promote health, education or the general social or civic betterment in
the stated geographical areas; but the Trustees will continue to place particular emphasis on healthcare and other
social services
