About this fundraiser:

In our commitment to maintaining the good work that Tom Walz and his non-profit organizations' have done, the Multicultural Development Center of Iowa will support the Iowa Disability Creative Works Gallery as a community project beginning November 4th, 2019.

MDC Iowa will begin by redesigning the IDCWG logo and website, as well as creating a new marketplace for artists with disabilities to sell their art as well as other products that feature the artists' work.

We believe that it is important to do more than just create a platform for disabled artists and artisans to showcase their art. As a community, we must also create opportunities to celebrate and support them by donating directly to the community project and purchasing the creative works.

Tom's non-profit organization, Disabilities Enterprise Foundation, was created to help people with disabilities pursue their entrepreneurial goals. MDC Iowa is committed to providing biannual gallery events so the public is given the chance to celebrate the artists which also creates an opportunity for the artists to generate income from the sale of their artwork.

We are asking for your financial support to help offset operational expenses and fund the new marketplace that will provide a platform that creates income for artists and artisans with disabilities.

Your donations will help pay for:

• New Logo & Website
• Artist Marketplace
• Gallery Event Planning & Venue
• Disabled Artist Support
