The Value of Volenteerism

The CCF has crunched the numbers, and is delighted to report the in-kind contributions to our organization in the form of volunteer time, donated services and partner organization support for the 2013-2014 year is valued at over $81,700.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every volenteer who participates in CCF activities. Your efforts make the CCF function, and we simply could not achieve our goals without you! The think tanks, project volunteers, and organizational support we’ve received is worth much more than the financial value given. These contributions are the lifeblood of our organization, influencing the activity and often the direction of our organization. You are our connection to the community, at many levels, and we listen to and learn from you and your experiences as members of the Craft sector across Canada.

We are grateful to our many volunteers and partners, and we will continue to work together to obtain a greater visibility and appreciation for Canadian Craft. If you would like to be a part of this effort, we welcome you to join a project or standing committee, to volunteer at an upcoming Conference, or to get in touch with your regional Craft Council to see where else you may be needed!

As you may already know, every provincial and territorial craft council is a member of the Canadian Crafts Federation, so supporting your local council in turn supports national representation for Craft.
