Summary
Drawing from both her legal background and lived experience, Tamara advocates for women, survivors, and those in recovery. She played a pivotal role in launching the Divided Sky Foundation’s Women’s Scholarship Fund, which now has over $300,000 committed to supporting women’s access to compassionate, gender-responsive care.
Divided Sky Foundation & Women’s Scholarship Fund
- Accessible, barrier-free treatment: DSF removes financial obstacles and avoids red tape, offering flexible, mission-driven care for anyone seeking recovery.
- Trusted statewide partner: Agencies and hospitals across Vermont refer to DSF knowing no one is turned away for financial reasons.
- Comprehensive residential support: DSF provides a deeply supportive environment that helps people through every stage of recovery.
- Women’s Scholarship Fund leadership: Created and championed by Tamara Holder, who personally sponsored the first recipient in 2023.
- Growing impact: Launched in 2025, the fund now exceeds $300,000 and aims for $500,000 by year’s end — helping fill DSF’s women’s floor to capacity.
- Equity in recovery: The fund helps women overcome financial, familial, and emotional barriers, reinforcing the message that women deserve a safe space to heal and recover.
