Susan M. Gallagher Scholarship Endowment
CraftStudies believes that all members of our community should have access to the tools, materials, and process of craft, but most importantly, that everyone should be surrounded by a community that supports hands-on creative learning. The Susan M. Gallagher Scholarship Endowment has been created to ensure this essential support for years to come.
Susan found her creative voice and community at CraftStudies, as a student in both the metals and ceramics studios. This endowment has been established in her honor by her family–at this pivotal moment in CraftStudies’ history–to provide both a springboard for, and a strong financial foundation from which CraftStudies can grow our strategic commitment to access and equity.
Scholarships through this endowment are awarded each year using the interest earned from invested funds, ensuring that a principal balance remains secure and continues to grow. As more funds are raised and invested, more scholarship funds may be awarded.
Help us begin this investment from a place of strength! Aligned to CraftStudies’ strategic Promise to Community Access and Equity, in this inaugural year of the Susan M. Gallagher Scholarship Endowment Fund, members of CraftStudies Board of Directors will match all contributions up to $5,000 made to this endowment before March 1, 2024, doubling the funds’ initial investment. Help us reach–and even surpass–this monumental goal!
