Vermont Poverty Law Fellowship Campaign
The Vermont Poverty Law Fellowship Campaign is overseen by our Campaign Chair, Bonnie Badgewick, Esq. This annual campaign operates from September through December, aiming to raise awareness about the crucial work of the Poverty Law Fellowship within the legal community and the general public. Simultaneously, the campaign solicits funds to sustain the Fellowship. Thus far, the campaign has successfully garnered over $1,000,000 in contributions from generous individuals, firms and organizations across Vermont.
