Nest

Nest is a nonprofit committed to helping US and global craft communities grow and thrive. We understand the importance of handcraft and the meaning it can hold for every life it touches. That’s why we connect a community of artisans, retailers and philanthropies to bring the full beauty of craft to the world.

Nest uplifts makers and artisans through tools and resources to develop their entrepreneurial skills, connect with others, and improve their economic independence. By leveraging human-centered design, artisans and makers co-create their experience with Nest based on their business priorities. They are able to drive their experience and match Nest’s resources to their needs. We help handcraft businesses grow by fostering collaborative partnerships that put artisans and makers at the center of transforming business and society. And we celebrate the stories of the people, places and traditions of handcraft that bring us all closer together.
