“Life can change in a moment, and for makers, that means everything. CERF+ has been there for artists who, through no fault of their own, were hit with a disaster that prevented them from pursuing their passion and profession and contributing to our lives through the objects they create.

I so value that safety net and support system that I have supported CERF+ since its inception. My contributions were modest but consistent, and I want to ensure that I keep supporting CERF+ after I can no longer write a check. Naming CERF+ in my estate plan, even in a modest way, ensures my commitment in perpetuity.”
