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.”

Vermont Bar Foundation’s GivingTuesday

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.
