Crafting Our Future is a special group of donors who have chosen to make an enduring impact by including Contemporary Craft in their estate plans:
- Include Contemporary Craft in your will
- Name Contemporary Craft as a beneficiary for your retirement account or life insurance policy
These thoughtful gifts help secure our future and sustain the exhibitions, programs, and community experiences that make Contemporary Craft unique.
The Raphael Endowment, established through the vision and generosity of Cathy Raphael, strengthens that future by providing long–term stability for the organization. Gifts to the endowment become a permanent investment in our mission, ensuring the art of making—and the community it creates—will thrive for generations to come.
