CERF+ came to my aid in the first days.

CERF+ came to my aid in the first days after my home and studio in Vermont were ruined by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.

I knew about CERF+ from my years working in ceramics, but had not contacted them at this early point because we were busy trying to get the muck and mud out of our home. CERF+ came to me with a partially filled-out application and made it easy for me to access grant money to rebuild my studio. Down the road when I was in the process of putting my studio back together, CERF+ helped me source new materials and equipment and secured me a 25% discount from my suppliers. They were amazing and I couldn’t have put my studio back together without them.
