How it works

As the Folk School continues to evolve, we recognize the importance of updating our web technologies and communications. Our new Fund-A-Need website showcases the impact of your donations through captivating stories that highlight the program you choose to support within our beloved school.

Each year, we will refresh our website with a list of items from the school’s capital project plans and the capital and program needs for our various studios, ones that will greatly benefit from your assistance in purchasing or offsetting the costs. When you make a donation, we will express our gratitude and recognition, and when an item is purchased, we will document its acquisition and the significant impact it has on our school.

Moreover, you can fund individual scholarships or provide overall program support for specific class areas such as Clay or Woodturning. Once you have made your choice, you can easily submit your payment via credit or debit card using our newly designed donation forms. Even the smallest contributions will go a long way.

We encourage you to regularly visit our Fund-A-Need webpage to stay updated on the wonderful things happening at the John C. Campbell Folk School.
