Double Your Gift to Support Conservation Fellows
"During my fellowship at CCAHA, I have had the amazing opportunity to treat a Japanese folding screen, watercolors, prints, graphite sketches, varnished wall maps, gouache paintings on pith paper, and so much more. Every day, I get to practice my hand skills in a welcoming and encouraging environment, and I learn something new from the amazing conservation staff."

CCAHA is a nonprofit, and individual donations help support every aspect of what we do. This year you can double the impact of your gift to CCAHA. Donations made by December 31 will be matched 1-to-1 by CCAHA’s Board of Directors (up to a total of $12,000). Please help us meet this challenge by the end of the year!
A cornerstone of CCAHA's donor-supported education efforts is our Fellowship Program, which has trained more than 70 emerging professionals in the past 45 years. During the fellowship year at CCAHA, postgraduate conservation fellows gain experience working directly with our expert staff on an incredible range of projects.
While we receive grant funding for this program, CCAHA matches it to ensure we provide a competitive wage for fellows at the start of their career. Your donation to CCAHA directly supports us in this effort.
