MAD Potters Fundraising Campaign for equipment for the new Community Pottery Studio 

MAD Potters is fundraising to equip the Old Police Stables Community Pottery Studio. The Community Pottery Studio is a new initiative in Mansfield and with a lease of the Old Police Stables we have a place to make this dream come true with your help!
Donations over $2 will receive a tax receipt. Donations are made through the ACF (Australian Cultural Fund).

The Australian Cultural Fund (ACF) is a fundraising platform for Australian artists.

The Australian Cultural Fund is operated by Creative Australia, and has endorsement as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) confirmed by the Australian Tax Office. Creative Australia is a cultural organisation under the Register of Cultural Organisations (ROCO), which is maintained by the Office for the Arts in the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.

Through the ACF, artists upload their project, start their fundraising campaign and invite art lovers and supporters to donate with 100% of donations going directly towards artists’ creative projects.
