The BTV Local & Indigenous Fund promotes a culture in the Vermont Cannabis Industry that acknowledges the disproportionate suffering of Indigenous people caused by cannabis prohibition and gives back to Vermonters in need.
The fund was originally launched in 2020, under the name Magic Mann Global Indigenous Fund to promote a culture in the Vermont Cannabis Industry that acknowledges the disproportionate suffering of Indigenous people caused by cannabis prohibition and gives back to Vermonters in need. In 2024, the fund was re-christened the BTV Local & Indigenous Fund, to represent not only Magic Mann’s support of Indigenous People but also to call attention to their desire to support the local community. The Fund’s new name aligns and memorializes the inception of Magic Mann, originally known as BTV LOCAL 420, of having a goal of not only creating a cannabis business, but a company that makes ‘giving back’ part of its mission.
