Support Craigardan

There is more than one way to support Craigardan

With a full residency season supporting the work of more than 70 artists and scholars, a year-round diversified community farm, a rich slate of public programs, and an ever-growing campus of buildings on 320 acres — there is no shortage of ways to help our work grow and thrive.

  • Volunteer! Beyond our weekly volunteer hours on the farm, we always welcome extra hands for a variety of tasks including: farm store, trail work, at kiln firings, at events, and even with our many construction and maintenance projects. Email program@craigardan.org to tell us about your interests.

  • Support the Farm Store. Buying local, seasonal, and organic food and goods in our store helps to further our work in strengthening a regional food system, and growing our community farm.

  • Give a tax-deductible gift. Consider an unrestricted gift to Craigardan at any time of the year to help support us in our areas of greatest need. You may wish to give a gift in honor of, or in memory of someone close to you.

  • Make a year-end gift. Include Craigardan in your year-end charitable giving and help us plan for the year ahead.

  • Donate stock. Contact michele@craigardan.org for information on transferring gifts of stock.
