Founding Day 2026

On December 5, 1972, Vermont Law School was chartered in South Royalton. Every December 5 since the 50th anniversary, Swans mark Founding Day with one day of giving and gatherings in cities across the country. Count me in: every gift on Founding Day counts toward your class and your regional group on the leaderboards, and gifts made before noon ET unlock the Board Challenge match.
