Fundraise with Maranda

I have experienced firsthand the impact that Fair Trade can have on people’s lives.

– Maranda Leigh

After learning about Fair Trade in a college course at Indiana University, I had the opportunity to travel to Ecuador with an importer of Fair Trade products to visit artisans and learn their process. The personal stories that they shared with me still stick with me 8 years later as a vivid reminder of how business could and should treat their employees.

Fair Trade practices encompass what all businesses should aspire to: dignity & safety for all workers, wages that support a full & healthy life for employees & their families, respect & care for the natural environment, and just overall consciousness about the impact business operations have on a community. If you, like me, believe in a future where all businesses are expected to (at minimum) support and respect their employees, their communities, and their planet; then I hope you will join me in supporting Chicago Fair Trade today. Chicago Fair Trade is working to make this future a reality, focusing on local Chicago businesses, organizations, and communities that share this same vision.

I am kicking off my fundraiser by making a personal contribution of $150.

If you are able to support Chicago Fair Trade with a financial gift, please know that no amount is too small!

If you are unable to donate today, please help spread the word about this fundraiser and Chicago Fair Trade’s mission.
