A LETTER FROM CERF+
This year marks CERF+’s 35th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than to thank our community who make our work possible. You are the foundation of all that we do, and as you read this impact report for 2019, we hope you will see how our values of community + service + integrity translate into action.
CERF+’s community is a dynamic galaxy, encompassing the artists whom we serve to the businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals who join us annually with their support. That galaxy expanded in 2019 through the addition of new partnerships with the Flamboyan Arts Fund, GlobalGiving, Airbnb, and FEMA. And as we implement a major grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we are building a movement — a national network that will work with us on readiness, response, and recovery in their local communities.
In 2019, you helped us raise more than $1,550,000, which enabled us to expand and improve our services to artists. Hiring our first emergency response professional, Cameron Baxter Lewis, a veteran of the Peace Corps and Save the Children, has strengthened CERF+’s ability to mobilize in the wake of disaster and to access resources from the local and state emergency management community on behalf of our beneficiaries.
You have also helped us look to and secure our work for the next decades of service to the field. A generous endowment gift from the Windgate Foundation in 2019 will enable us to move closer to our dream of covering our operational expenses, so that all donations can go directly to our program work. And, CERF+’s Legacy Circle has grown to 50 individuals through 16 new planned gifts, a critical source of future revenue to augment our annual fundraising efforts.
These are difficult times with ongoing severe weather-related and global health challenges. We hope this report demonstrates that the safety net for artists is getting stronger—and the power of our community’s collective commitment to helping sustain creative careers.
Sincerely yours,
Cornelia CareyExecutive Director

“Thanks to CERF+’s Get Ready Grant, I was able to purchase and install a new filtration system in my workshop. As a result, my workspace is cleaner, more efficient, and my lungs are protected from the many materials I use to create my work.”

READINESS IN ACTION
ARTIST GET READY TODAY FOR TOMORROW
CERF+ knows firsthand how vulnerable artists are in the face of disasters and offers workshops, informational resources, and Get Ready grants to encourage artists to take proactive measures to protect themselves and safeguard their careers.
WORKSHOPS
185 artists participated in 11 workshops across six states and territories.
GET READY GRANTS
42 artists used their $500 Get Ready grants to make upgrades to their studios and safeguard their careers.
RESOURCES
Distributed over 2,000 Studio Safety Guides and Crafting Your Legacy workbooks.
“This workshop has given me clear and attainable steps to build my creative endeavors into a viable, safely functioning, well-thought-out business.”
— Ashlyn Biggers, Workshop Participant
“CERF+ Get Ready grant made it possible for me to invest in a new ventilation system. Now I feel safer and healthier when I’m doing what I love”
— Anna Boothe (pictured above) – Glass Artist, 2019 Get Ready Grant Recipient, Ziegierville, Pennsylvania
RESPONSE
“CERF+ helped me get on my feet after my studio fire.”
— Eric Knoche Ceramic Artist, 2019 Studio Fire, Asheville, North Carolina
CERF+ PROVIDED $173,609 IN EMERGENCY RELIEF ASSISTANCE TO 55 ARTISTS
RESPONSE + RECOVERY
Although 2019 was a much quieter year for our emergency relief assistance program, we still provided $173,609 to 55 artists from 24 states, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
CERF+’s Ready + Resilient program provides support services to communities after major disasters, helping artists build back better and safeguard their careers. In 2019, CERF+ conducted trainings in Huntsville, Alabama; Houston, Texas; and across Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

“CERF+ was monumental in my recovery. They were prompt, understanding, and it was obvious that they truly cared. That kind of support is crucial when dealing with a traumatic experience.”
— Preetika Rajgariah (above) — Fiber Artist, Theft, Houston, Texas
IN-KINDNESS
CONNECTING BUSINESSES
WITH ARTISTS’ RECOVERY NEEDS
The In-Kindness Program connects CERF+ with businesses, manufacturers, suppliers, show promoters, publishers, and others who work with us to help artists experiencing emergencies. Our In-Kindness partners donate critical equipment, materials, and services like booth fee waivers at shows.
“After my studio was flooded, CERF+ connected me with AMACO Brent, who donated a new wheel to replace the one that was damaged. Thanks to CERF+ and AMACO Brent I was able to get back to work.”
— Kevin Leiva (left) — Ceramic Artist, 2019 Flood, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
12 Businesses contributed $11,609 of supplies, equipment, and services to 26 beneficiaries

CERF+ LEGACY CIRCLE

Deena and Jerome Kaplan
“My mother gave to CERF+ because she knew they would help the artists she admired thrive and sustain their careers. We know that she would have appreciated the fact that her contribution would support artists for years to come.”

*Made living legacy gifts
If you have included CERF+ in your estate plans and do not see your name here, or if you would like to find out how you can ensure CERF+ for future generations with a legacy gift, please contact: [email protected]
“I don’t know if I will ever need CERF+’s helping hand, but if I do, I know that they will be there. I also know that CERF+ would reach out to me even if I’d never made a contribution. It’s just the way CERF+ is. But I do give by way of a scheduled quarterly gift. It feels good, it’s easy, and it’s a great investment in our collective future.”
— James Aarons — Ceramic Artist and Sustaining Donor
