The Museum of Printing receives Essex County Creative Nonprofit Resiliency Grant

The Museum of Printing thanks the Essex County Creative Nonprofit Resiliency Grant program for its recent grant

Haverhill, MA (May 5, 2020) – The Museum of Printing is delighted to announced that it is the recipient of a grant from the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF). The award is part of the Essex County Creative Nonprofit Resiliency Grant program.

Museums, like other parts of our society, have suffered during the pandemic. We are unable to open our doors to visitors and therefore have no revenues from entrance fees or gift shop purchases. The Museum of Printing greatly appreciates the support of the ECCF during these challenging times as well as their foresight in creating a grant program that helps institutions like ours.

In responding to the Museum of Printing’s grant application, the ECCF noted: “Your creative work and your organization’s story of hardship during this time are both inspiring and heartbreaking. Please know that we feel your pain and we are here for you. Your participation in this fund will serve to strengthen our network of creative nonprofits across Essex County while supporting our advocacy work. We will keep you in our circle of support over the coming weeks and months as we help our creative sector in its recovery and rebuilding efforts.”

Our thanks to ECCF! We look forward to the day when we can reopen our doors and welcome the public in to see the many treasures within our collection. In the meantime, look over our website for updates including videos and at-home activities for all ages.
