Mission Statement
Last Christmas, with the overwhelming success of a hat drive posted on the Craftsy blog, it became clear we have an incredibly compassionate community. To help connect our talented members with meaningful causes, we decided to start Craftsy Cares, a place where crafters can unite and use their talents for social causes. The goal of Craftsy Cares is to partner with organizations that provide craft projects with purpose and make an impact for those in need. Check back here to connect with featured organizations and share your craft to spread some joy. Learn it, Make it, Tag it, and Give it with the Craftsy Cares program.
If you have a suggestion for a Craftsy Cares upcoming project, please email craftsycares@craftsy.com.

Join Craftsy Cares in partnering with
Volunteers of America to help senior citizens across the country. As the frigid winter weather is still upon us, shawls, lap blankets and scarves have been requested by seniors to keep them cozy. Spread the love this Valentine’s Day and warm a senior citizen’s heart with a handmade garment. Create your item, write a note and send it to the Volunteers of America nearest you!
This holiday season Craftsy has partnered with the
National Coalition of the Homeless in a joint effort to
Keep Out the Cold for homeless children this winter. Our goal is to donate 10,000 new or homemade pieces of clothing: hats, sweaters, gloves, scarves, and blankets, or any other clothing items that will keep a child warm. Help Keep out the Cold for a homeless child by knitting, crocheting, sewing or quilting warming items and sending them to the Craftsy office at
Attn: Keep the Cold Out
2150 West 29th Ave., Suite 400
Denver, CO 80211
If you’re looking for a way to give back this holiday season, consider “Tying one on,” and giving a homemade treat to someone in need. On November 21st, Craftsy is sponsoring
National Tie One On Day, an event that takes place on the eve of Thanksgiving. Create an apron with a custom pattern and participate with others all over the country in giving a gift of a tasty treat to a neighbor, loved one, or anyone in need.
