Please help Chicago Fair Trade (CFT) raise ~~$25,000~~ $30,000!

Help us take our work to the next level!

This past year and a half has upended our lives. As disruptive as it has been, it has inspired many of us to think more carefully not only about what is important to us and what we truly need, but also about where we spend our money. We have a unique opportunity and opening to demand: No more business as usual!

Think about how good it feels when you have an authentic, personal transaction: grabbing coffee at a locally-owned coffee shop, buying produce from your local farmers market, or shopping for gifts made by artisan partners who were paid fairly. Imagine having that feeling day in and day out when you spend money! Chicago Fair Trade is working to bring this vision to life.

Chicago Fair Trade has an opportunity to take our work to the next level. With your support, we are able to continue to grow our vibrant fair trade community and build the world we want to live in-a world in which children going to school and not working is the norm.

We truly appreciate your donation–it really makes a difference! We greatly appreciate your consideration.
