Donations Propel Craftsman Farms To 'Challenge Grant'

The Craftsman Farms Foundation is thrilled that the Arts and Crafts online community came through in a big way in response to their recent Board Challenge Grant. Online gifts totaling $5,625 came in and helped the Foundation win the additional $5,000 grant!

Many thanks to our online friends who made this possible! 100% of this $10,650 will directly support the Stickley Museum’s annual operating costs. Each year the Stickley Museum needs to raise approximately half a million dollars in basic operating funds like this — and that $500,000 is in addition to the funds they continually raise for restoration and special projects.

This year the Stickley Museum needs to raise a total of $502,290 in basic operating funds. The recent challenge grant brought the total 2010 funds raised to-date up to $490,180. If you didn’t have a chance to participate in the challenge grant, you can still help the Foundation raise that last $12,000 by making a tax-deductible end-of-year gift here: http://stickleymuseum.org/donate2_online.php.
