If you haven't heard of CERF (the Craft Emergency Relief Fund), then now is a good time to look into what they do. CERF assists artists and craftspeople in developing their business and sustaining themselves in the craft. They also assist with disaster relief for artists hard hit by natural disasters such as fires, hurricanes, floods and the like.
Recently we have established a way for everyone to help their fellow craftspeople by helping CERF. If you've purchased anything from our website in the last few months, you may have noticed a new addition to the checkout process. When you confirm your order and before you submit it, we now offer you the chance to round up your estimated order amount to the nearest whole dollar and donate that change to CERF for their ongoing efforts in the arts and crafts community.
The service is provided by an organization called Change Round Up that does an excellent job of making a little contribution go a long way. It's the ultimate example of how something small, when joined together with lots of other small donation, can really add up to make quite a difference. The next time you place an order, think about donating those extra cents via Change Round Up to CERF and make a difference in another artist's life. You can even submit a larger donation if you wish.
A little can truly go a long way.
