How can a partnership with Masks4Missions support your organization?�

Today’s Goal

Awareness: Our social media platforms promote mask-wearing and just as important, our partner organizations’ great work and mission.

Fun: Vermont Mask Day is a celebration and opportunity to engage your community around a common purpose. We have activities and support for events for your staff and constituents. We are sponsoring a concert with GRACE POTTER on Friday, October 9 to thank our partners and the wider Vermont community for their role in #keepingVTsafe.

Connection: #WearingIsCaring—Through the custom mask program, we help your organization demonstrate its commitment to a safe community as it (re)connects with constituents, staff, volunteers, and supporters/donors.

Fundraising: With all net profits in the custom mask program going to our partners, we can help fundraise by selling your masks on our online shop or by creating custom masks to use as your fourth quarter donor gifts.

The need

COVID threatens not only Vermonter’s health, but also our connections to each other, to our nonprofits, and to our community

COVID Masks save lives and allow us to get closer, but to save lives masks must be used

Masks4Missions believes that attractive masks dressed with meaningful images from Vermont nonprofits will be worn more often, will help us safely connect, and will build awareness for nonprofits and their missions that we love and support

Masks4Missions.org wishes to engage <your organization> in an effort to keep your community safe, connected, and thriving.

Vermont Mask Day—October 6, 2020

A state-wide celebration of Vermonters coming together virtually and/or mask-protected to celebrate our shared commitment to healthy communities by wearing COVID-masks branded with custom Vermont Mask Day designs and Vermont nonprofit images.

With schools back in session, increasing tourism, and moving indoors (weather), the need for vigilant mask use has never been higher. A Vermont Mask Day helps to highlight and then educate/remind the public on the importance of wearing masks to protect the health of all Vermont families.

State-wide Vermont, with event-centers in major cities and online, activities in ALL 14 Vermont counties.

October 6, 2020 with activities all week.
