An Important Update — and a Thank You
Dear Crafting Change Volunteers, Supporters & Friends,
​
Over the past five years, we have built something truly extraordinary together. What began as people rallying during a time of crisis grew into a global community of craftivists connected by generosity, creativity, and a shared desire to care for others through handmade work.
​
Because of you, Crafting Change volunteers have donated more than 244,000 handcrafted items to individuals and communities in need across the United States and around the world. Every stitch, every project, and every act of kindness has been part of a story we created together — one rooted in compassion and community.
​
After five years of leading Crafting Change, the time has come for me to step away from the administrative responsibilities of running a nonprofit and return to where this all began — creating alongside you as a fellow Craftivist. Crafting Change was never about titles or structure; it has always been about people using their hands and hearts to care for others. I am looking forward to once again participating in that spirit as a volunteer, creator, and advocate within this community.
​
As I prepare to step down from my role as Executive Director at the end of March, the Board of Directors and I reflected carefully on what would best serve Crafting Change moving forward. Together, we concluded that formally dissolving the nonprofit organization allows us to close this chapter responsibly while preserving the community that has always been at its heart.
​
This decision is not about something ending — it is about recognizing that what makes Crafting Change special has never been the legal structure. It has always been the people, the relationships, and the shared desire to create for others. That is something we have built together, and it remains firmly in your hands.
The nonprofit entity will formally dissolve by March 31, 2026, following an orderly wind-down process approved by the Board of Directors. All remaining organizational funds will be distributed to our nonprofit partner organizations in alignment with our charitable mission and long-standing relationships.
​
What continues forward is the community itself.
​
The Crafting Change Community on Facebook will remain, transitioning from a nonprofit-led space to a community-led one. I along with Carol, Martha, and Robyn will continue moderating as the group evolves organically. You — our volunteers — now have a leading role in shaping what this community becomes next.
​
Nothing about your ability to create, collaborate, share projects, or support causes you care about needs to stop. In many ways, this transition simply returns us to our roots — people coming together to craft for others because they want to, not because of organizational structure or paperwork.
​​
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping build something truly meaningful together. I look forward to dusting off my sewing machine and continuing to craft alongside you as we shape what this community becomes next — returning to the creativity and joy that have always been at the heart of Crafting Change.
​
With gratitude,
Tiffany Herbert
Founder & Executive Director
