Fair Trade County in Scotland

Fair Trade Towns are popping up all over the United States! These towns are creating a truly grassroots Fair Trade consumer movement. To gain Fair Trade Town status, a city or town must have buy-in from local citizens, NGOs, faith centers, businesses, and governing bodies. This inclusive approach means that the Fair Trade Towns movement educates Americans about the importance of Fair Trade and creates a deep commitment to this groundbreaking international development model. Become a part of the Fair Trade Towns Movement!

Why not help to Give a Town a Purpose yourself by making a Gift of Fairness donation that will contribute to the formation of a new Fair Trade Town! There are many places across this country that have the drive, the support, and the will to become a Fair Trade Town, but do not have the resources. Your donation will help these Fair Trade pioneers give their Town a Purpose, and will contribute to the growth of Fair Trade Towns across the U.S.! Give what you can…today!
