BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Thursday is unclaimed property day – a day to check the State Treasurer’s office to see if the state has unclaimed money belonging to you.

Now, a partnership is using the day to help local non-profits reconnect with their cash.

In a meeting on Thursday morning, State Treasurer Mike Pieciak and Secretary of State Sarah Copeland-Hanzas announce a pilot program to help the state’s non-profit organizations.

Copeland-Hanzas says she looks forward to leveraging the secretary of state’s extensive business database to return as much money to organizations as they can.
