The Craft Emergency Relief Fund

The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) provides financial assistance and resources to craft artists facing unexpected emergencies, such as health issues, accidents, or natural disasters. Its goal is to help artists recover quickly and continue their work without severe setbacks. CERF+ offers grants, emergency relief grants, and ongoing support to strengthen artists’ resilience. By doing so, it ensures that skilled artisans in fields like ceramics, glass, fiber, and other crafts can sustain their careers during difficult times, preserving their artistic contributions and livelihoods.
