A note from Vermont Bar Foundation: Vermont faces significant challenges in meeting the goal of providing access to justice for all litigants in our civil courts. Through our grants program, the Vermont Bar Foundation raises funds to support statewide access to justice. Our goal is to raise $30,000 from the silent auction fundraiser. Since its inception in 1982, the Vermont Bar Foundation has provided over $27 million in grants to support 60 Vermont organizations which provide access to justice for disadvantaged Vermonters. But the sources of the grant funds—interest on lawyers’ trust accounts, or IOTA revenues—have been in decline. The VBF seeks to stabilize its critical funding role through fundraising events and community support. The auction proceeds will support grantees facing unanticipated needs, support legal services .
