Giving Tuesday and the Vermont Bar Foundation

The Vermont Bar Foundation Celebrates

GivingTuesday by joining millions around

the world participating in the global generosity

movement on December 1, 2020.

This GivingTuesday the Vermont Bar

Foundation will inspire generosity by providing

low-income Vermonters access to civil

justice, because we believe that is a right, not

a privilege. Our Access to Justice campaign

works to ensure that all Vermonters have

access to skilled legal help when needed.

For over 30 years the Vermont Bar

Foundation has helped support Vermonters in

need of legal assistance. In 2008 The Vermont

Poverty Law Fellowship was launched. It is

funded by generous contributions from law

firms, individual attorneys, individuals, corporations

and organizations committed to

civil justice. The Fellowship provides two

years of support to exceptional young attorneys

who work to increase legal access for

low-income Vermonters.

On GivingTuesday the Vermont Bar

Foundation is hosting a free Poverty Law

Panel moderated by Vermont Supreme Court

Justice Beth Robinson and Justice Karen

Carroll and six Vermont Poverty Law Fellows.

Tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vermont-poverty-law-fellowspanel-tickets-126323090765.

The Moretown Artisans’ Sale Moves

Online for 2020

You can support local businesses

and do your holiday shopping

in your underwear this year!

The Moretown Artisans’ Sale

(MAS) is pivoting online this

holiday shopping season in an

effort to make it easier for consumers

to find locally made,

quality gifts, but still shop in a

safe and convenient manner.

Due to COVID related reasons,

Digital Commerce 360

projects U.S. consumers will

spend nearly $2 billion with

online retailers this holiday season,

over a 40% year-over-year

jump from for the same November-December

period in 2019. Moretown Artisans’ Sale

organizer, Meg Schultz, hopes that taking the

MAS online will help some of those purchases

stay with local businesses.

“Shopping online is easy, convenient and

safe,” Schultz says. “But just because I’m

shopping online doesn’t mean I can’t also

support local artists and businesses.”

A survey Schultz circulated in November

about online shopping patterns revealed that

90% of respondents eagerly want to support

local businesses, but struggle to do so when

shopping locally online, simply because they

don’t know what is available. She hopes that

by turning the Moretown Artisans’ Sale into

somewhat of an online directory for local artists,

that this can help solve that problem.

“This has been the ‘No-Show’ season for

artists,” Schultz quipped. “Doing shows like

the Moretown Artisans’ Sale and others – this

and organizations to transform their communities

and their world. GivingTuesday will

kick off the generosity season this year by

inspiring people to give back on December 1,

2020, and throughout the year.

GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a

simple idea: to create a day that encourages

people to do good. Over the past nine years,

this idea has grown into a global movement

that inspires hundreds of millions of people to

give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

People demonstrate generosity in many

ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping

a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an

issue for people we care about, or giving to

causes we care about, every act of generosity

counts.

“GivingTuesday inspires people all around

the world to embrace their power to drive

progress around the causes they care about,

not just on one day but throughout the year,”

said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and

co-founder. “With country and community

leaders, millions of organizations, and countless

givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is

creating a shared space where we can see the

radical implications of a more generous

world.”

is how a lot of artists make the bulk of their

living and without being able to do in-person

shows, ‘the struggle has been real.’ Our hope

is that by providing an online outlet for consumers

to find products made locally, we can

put a positive note on an otherwise dismal

year.”

Over 20 artists with a wide variety of products

have signed up in just the first few days

and applications are still coming in. Schultz is

optimistic there will be an ample selection for

consumers to browse through when they start

“windows shopping” for holiday gifts.

Consumers can start shopping right away

at moretownartisan.com but Schultz says to

keep checking back as she expects to update

the page with more artists regularly.
