Robin Edelman has made generous gifts to The Curtis Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation, supporting its Credentials of Value programs and expanding access to education for Vermonters. She has also established a trust that will create the Edelman-Haber Second Chance Scholarship Fund, building on that work for the future.

"With a lifelong interest in promoting public health I know about the importance of higher education in removing socio-economic barriers. Recognizing that women's family responsibilities caring for their children and elderly parents can be obstacles that delay postsecondary education, the scholarship fund will help women break through barriers so that they can successfully complete college or certification programs."
