Emergency Relief Grant from the Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+)

Apply
Description
The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) emergency relief grant focuses on materials-based craft and folk/traditional artists who have experienced a recent, career or practice threatening emergency, such as an illness, injury, theft, fire or climate related disaster AND/OR incurred significant medical expenses related to treatment and recovery from COVID-19. Due to the high demand for emergency relief assistance and limited funding, cases based solely on economic losses due to COVID-19 are not eligible. Once we receive your completed application, we will review it and contact you by phone and/or email within five business days.
