Walk-in Donations open 11/6-13!! 🎉
What we need already exists; there's enough to share. We believe in the power of community resources and collective creativity.
Connect our community of artists, teachers, hobbyists, and makers by giving new life to your unused creative supplies. Your donation of unused materials gives our community access to affordable, inspiring materials and a place to gather.
Contact us to help turn your stash into our community's next masterpiece.
We're starting by accepting specific categories of creative supplies so that we can make good use of them. We package them into kits and workshops to make starting (or finishing!) your next project easy.
We’d love to share more about people’s collections and how they’ve learned to do things - while you are still crafting or after someone has passed.
Have deadstock or bulk materials? We have people who want to use them! We love to collaborate with manufacturers and makers to keep materials out of landfills, including equipment.
We are community-driven. We are currently supported by volunteers and many in-kind donations, including services. We would love to focus on the areas we can make the most impact in serving our community for our first six months, and you are welcome to contribute! We will also need to have paid positions so Creative Reuse Montana can support our team as contributing members of our community, and we are just getting started!
If you would like to make a financial donation to Creative Reuse Montana, this how you can do it! Contact us to make other arrangements.
Why aren't you a nonprofit organization?
We've listened and learned from the experience of several nonprofit leaders (and crafters): we have chosen to operate as a small business so we can be nimble and focus our efforts on the areas where we can make the most impact for our creative community.
We are pursuing fiscal sponsorship by a 501(c)(3) public charity for two projects so you may make tax-deductible donations, if desired: the Swap and Arts & Education Supplies. Both projects center connecting people through group creative activities, and that's why we've prioritized pursing fiscal sponsorship for both of them!
You may make a financial donation to us anytime. You may also donate to our projects now, though you will not receive a tax benefit at this time.
