"With each of these initiatives, the issues underlying them are systemic and they pre-date the pandemic. We're asking the question, 'What's the role for philanthropy and for a community foundation in addressing them across Vermont communities with an eye on the long-term?' We believe that doing so is fundamental to the long term resilience of Vermont communities as we come out of this pandemic and face the years ahead."

Participate in the Good Citizen Coronavirus Challenge
Since 2018, the Good Citizen Challenge has encouraged hundreds of Vermont's K-12 students to participate in civic-themed activities for an opportunity to win prizes and be recognized by Seven Days and its Kids VT publication, the organizers of the initiative. With students stuck at home due to the spread of COVID-19 in Vermont, a new Good Citizen Coronavirus Challenge has been launched to promote safe community engagement during a time of social distancing.
Every Wednesday, a new challenge is announced on the Good Citizen Coronavirus Challenge website. Entries must be submitted by noon on the following Wednesday to be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate from Phoenix Books. At 2 p.m. on Wednesdays, a winner will be drawn during a Facebook Live broadcast through the Kids VT Facebook account. Outstanding entries will also be recognized.
For more information, including Rules, a Contact Us form, and How to Participate, visit Good Citizen Coronavirus Challenge.
