The CCAE COVID-19 Relief Fund
Help Us Reach Our New Goal of $500,000!
In order to bridge the financial gap until the time when we can fully restore our in-person classes here in our historic houses on Brattle Street, CCAE Board Chair Christian Nolen, along with members of our Board of Directors, Board of Visitors, and long-standing CCAE supporters established The CCAE COVID-19 Relief Fund this past March. This fund, with an initial goal of $350,000, has helped CCAE to sustain itself during this time of the pandemic, when tuition revenue from online classes provides only 30% of usual revenue.
Our donors, many of whom, we are pleased to report, are new donors to CCAE, have been immensely generous over the past five months, and as a result, this August, we reached our initial goal of $350,000 for this first phase of the CCAE COVID-19 Relief Fund!
We are grateful beyond measure!
Now that the pandemic and its effects are longer lasting than we originally predicted, we have decided that we must set a new goal of $500,000, to be reached by December 31. Your gift will help us get there!
The CCAE COVID-19 Relief Fund allows us to continue to provide a full range of online classes this fall and winter, scholarships to adult learners in need, and will help us make the changes necessary to keep everyone safely distanced when the time comes to resume in-person classes.
As we move forward together, we are reminded indeed of how important the concept of community is. Your gift to The CCAE COVID-19 Relief Fund is testimony to that—guaranteeing that we are able to survive and continue our mission—to explore, to create, to grow.
If you have not supported the Fund yet, or you have, and would like to demonstrate your support of CCAE and its classes by making a second gift, now is the time!
- Affirm your faith in CCAE.
- Attest to its importance in your life and the life of the community.
- Assure that CCAE survives for another 150 years, so that we can continue to be a place to grow, create, and thrive.
