Cows For A Cause

Growing up in the Vermont country, I was surrounded by farms, and I have always had an appreciation for them. Cows were everywhere as my family and I would travel around the state, and we loved capturing Vermont’s beauty with photography. Little did we know that one snapshot of a cow would spark a world-wide moo-vement promoting kindness and unity, and our message- we’re all spots on the same cow.

Long story short, we realized the Holstein picture would make great art, so I began painting it. In 2015 we started our campaign Cows For A Cause, where we traveled around the state of Vermont (myself donned in a cow costume a lot of the time) attending fundraisers for nonprofits, with the goal to sell art and donate 50-100% of the sales to each cause. We were able to help various organizations such as ANEW Place in Burlington, VT and Central Vermont’s Relay For Life.

Giving back to the community and paying it forward is a passion, so while we were helping our local organizations, we knew we wanted to do more. We had an idea of growing something larger than our state, even larger than the USA, and wanted to expand around the world.

WORLD COW

World Cow has grown to over 40 countries around the globe as a global brand and art movement. We’re working with AVPVEO in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help grow their arts culture. We’ve partnered with Astitva in Dehra Dun, India, to help distribute bags of food, stationary, and clothing to children living in poverty. We helped the Elseed Art Foundation in Uganda to paint murals in schools and donate solar lamps to people without electricity. We’re continuously looking for opportunities to fundraise and support charities around the world.

Why do World Cow? The goal is delivering our message of love into as many homes around the world as possible. Our passion is to make people feel good. Our mission is to bring the world closer together by supporting our nonprofit sectors and spreading kindness. We’re grateful we have the ability to do what we love- connecting artists around the world and learning about their cultures. To break down borders and unite people, we need to understand our differences and celebrate them.
