2025 Thank-you Gift
This year, donations of $200 or more will receive a thank-you tote bag featuring an iconic image of a fully-stocked tool cabinet at the Krenov School. An image that will bring inspiration to emerging woodworkers and memories of life changing experiences to graduates of the program.
Double Your Impact!
This year, your impact doubles: A generous group of board members has committed $5,000 to match every gift dollar-for-dollar until December 31st.
That means your $100 gift becomes $200. Your $500 gift becomes $1,000. Every donation is twice as powerful.
New Donation Platform
The Krenov Foundation has selected the GiveButter platform to help manage our fundraising campaigns. The platform provides more options for fundraising and more options for donors to donate. You can choose to leave a small “tip” during the checkout process and in return GiveButter will waive all transaction fees and 100% of your gift will go directly to The Krenov Foundation! So be sure to leave a tip during checkout.
WHAT DOES THE KRENOV FOUNDATION DO?
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
The Krenov Foundation awards scholarships to students of The Krenov School in both the intensive nine-month program and summer classes. Scholarships for the nine-month program range from $1000 to $7500. Our scholarships benefit students in need of financial assistance including those from underrepresented communities.
THE KRENOV ARCHIVE
The Krenov Archive is a freely accessible digital archive of James Krenovʼs furniture, writings, and teachings. The preservation of his work was initiated in 2013 by a grant from the Community Foundation of Mendocino County and other donations to The Krenov Foundation.
EXHIBITIONS
The Krenov Foundation has been proud to support exhibitions of fine woodworking nationwide, for example ʻKrenov at 100,ʼ an online video exhibition; ‘Deep Roots & Spreading Branches: Fine Woodworking of the Krenov School’, Ukiah, CA; and ʻMaking a Seat at the Table,ʼ a national exhibition at the The Center for Art in Wood, Philadelphia, PA.
