Happening now: CERF+ responds to craft artists affected by severe storms
CERF+ was established in 1985, inspired by the craft community's tradition of “passing the hat” to collect donations and support artists during emergencies. CERF+ remains committed to its mutual aid origins, and engagement with craft artists. Committing to generosity, inclusion, and care, we advocate for the thrive-ability of craft artists and craft as an art form.

CERF+ offers Emergency Relief Grants to craft artists who experienced a recent and substantially disruptive emergency or disaster.
