Our Needs
Your donation will directly support MillHouse artists who lead community events on behalf of their fellow creatives. Our community event model relies on artists supporting artists. The time MillHouse artists expend directing our events requires them to put aside their individual business interests to support economic development opportunities for others. We endeavor to provide stipends to help replace lost income in support of the Foundation goals.
