Each year, Vermont sets aside a special honor for an individual who’s donated extraordinary time and financial commitments to the community.
The Vermont Philanthropist of the year this year is 58-year-old Rick Davis, who helped establish the Permanent Fund that helps draw together community organizations throughout the state, and use their combined resources to help people in need.
He spoke with Mitch Wertlieb and explained why he gets as much out of philanthropy if not more than the people he helps.
