Building Burlington’s Future

Building Burlington’s Future is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving our city for all residents. We work beyond political divides, focusing on practical solutions rather than partisan agendas. This status allows us to collaborate broadly and ensure our work benefits the entire community.

To build an affordable, safe, and economically vibrant Burlington through effective policy development and community action.

Building Burlington’s Future is focused on making Burlington work better for everyone through steady, practical collaboration. Our approach combines two connected tracks of work: one centered on community problem solving and neighborhood initiatives, and another focused on building capacity for local policy and systems change. Put together, these efforts help us respond to immediate challenges while shaping long-term solutions that strengthen Burlington’s economy, housing, safety, and overall well-being.

BBF is growing in reach, partnerships, and capacity. As our network expands, we’re taking on more complex issues that require coordination across the community and within local government. The next phase of our work will center on translating shared priorities into tangible outcomes, including advancing local policy and legislation that reflect Burlington’s needs and move the city forward.
