VITAL represents the people of St. Croix through this wide-based community initiative. We know how important it is to be transparent and accountable. The projects that we are leading could potentially draw large funding sources since the building of infrastructure is costly and at current prices equates to approximately 1 million dollars for every mile built. In order to meet the fiscal responsibilities VITAL applied and was accepted as a project of the St. Croix Foundation. Through this partnership the St. Croix Foundation will provide fiduciary assistance. Over the years the St Croix Foundation has built a strong community reputation through their work with multiple non-profit organizations. This is a reputation that VITAL identified as a key component for success. Those who donate can be assured that the funds go directly to projects with minimal overhead through a proven, high quality establishment. Donate with confidence. The St. Croix Foundation also acts as the 501C3 organization to assist in the application for grants on behalf of VITAL in partnership with other agencies. VITAL is working to apply for their 501C3 status in January 2019.
