We want to introduce you to an organization that is important to artists. CERF+  (Craft Emergency Relief Fund + Artists' Emergency Resources) supports the careers of craft artists throughout the United States with business and career-strengthening programsemergency relief support (grants, loans, brokered assistance for critical needs such as: equipment, supplies, booth fee waivers at shows), research, and advocacy
 
They do all of this because their passion (and mission) is to safeguard and sustain the careers of craft artists and to provide emergency resources that benefit all artists so that they can thrive and, thus, contribute to the quality of life in our communities.

 

Recent emergencies in the artist community urge you to visit CERF+'s website to learn more, and consider making a donation to support their work.

 

Many thanks to this wonderful non-profit organization for all their years helping artists through hurricanes, fires, medical emergencies and so much more. They have been the "light at the end of the tunnel" for many.

 

BTW, the NAIA has has just received a generous challenge gift of $1,000 from an anonymous donor. This individual has asked us to approach the NAIA membership to match her gift by raising an additional $1,000. Learn more and contribute: click here.

  • One way they get the word out Jacki is by the old fashioned method of word of mouth. When I was diagnosed last year with stage 3 bc and had an idea of what I was looking at in terms of treatment and working down time, I took the advice of a potter friend who was a bc survivor herself and helped by CERF. I applied for and received both a loan and grant. The process was very quick. They also can help with requests for booth fee waivers and some other things that I did not need to take advantage of. I posted on my Facebook page about their help, and also in some artist groups online to spread the word. And now I'm finally posting it here as well!
  • Do they totally rely on people contributing to the organization?  How do they usually get the word out about what they do?
