A press release from the board of trustees did not indicate why the gift, which is the largest donation in the 52-year history of the school, was anonymous.
SOUTH ROYALTON— Vermont Law and Graduate School is the recipient of a $10 million gift from an anonymous international organization to advance the school’s environmental advocacy work.
“We appreciate the opportunity to further the research and advocacy around these vital environmental issues and continue to lead in this space,” Board of Trustees Chairman Glenn Berger said in a news release Thursday.
The release did not indicate why the gift was anonymous. The gift is the largest donation in the 52-year history of Vermont Law and Graduate School, or VLGS.
Allocated over a three-year period, the money will help fund initiatives at the school’s Animal Law and Policy Institute, which specializes in animal rights advocacy, and the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems, a research center focused on public health, food security and advocacy for farmers.
