GRAYLING – The Artisan Village Creativity Center (AVCC) crowdfunding drive is on track. The campaign was posted online on December 21, 2016 and by Jan. 5 the campaign passed the half-way point with just over $13,000 in commitments. End date for the campaign is Jan. 31.

‘I have no doubt that we will reach and even exceed our goal on or before the end date,’ said AVCC Director Terry Dickinson. I am aware that there are outstanding pledges that have not come through yet and a couple of checks that have not yet been posted on Patronicity.com so the amount posted is not the whole story.’
When the fundraising effort reaches its goal of $25,000 Michigan Economic Development Corporation and Michigan State Housing Development Authority will match it with an additional $25,000.
‘The matching funds are what make this campaign so important and exciting. By raising $25,000 we will have $50,000 to complete the projects that are so essential to our community and our mission.’ Dickinson added.
