Caring For Each Other
Hand-crafting arts has provided a rich legacy and we depend on artisans every day to inspire us, reflect our values, evoke emotions and carry on traditions. 
Many professional artisans live day to day without a sizable personal "rainy day" fund to draw on should they be faced with a disaster. Named for two Saturday Market craftspeople, the Kareng Fund was founded in 2003 as an emergency relief fund to help artisans and their families. The Kareng Fund has given more than $50,000 in grants to nearly one hundred artisans. 
The Kareng Fund’s purpose is to assist artisans facing an immediate crisis which impacts their ability to continue their work. Crisis funding is not a solution to long term financial difficulties. Other community resources exist, including Community Lending Works, that can assist with long term financial challenges. The Kareng Fund is limited to no more than two grants per applicant over a four year period.
