Giving
At CCA, we are sustained by a belief in the power of creative work and the generosity of our community.
Making positive change
CCA is a community of makers with one hand in leading-edge technologies and the other in traditional craftsmanship. Our students are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, a hunger to question the status quo, and a hacker/DIY mentality.
Impact and appreciation
Every size and type of gift matters. Your support is educating a legion of ingenious positive change-makers, inspiring them to create objects, experiences, and environments that never existed before. We’re grateful to every donor as they’re a vital partner in our work.
