If you make a general fund designation you will be supporting the regular monthly program which provides ongoing educational activities for the membership of AWA. This helps to fund monthly demonstrations, video access to meetings, support of our woodturning library and other expenses in running this organization. There are no paid people involved other than demonstrators so the funds will go directly to association expenses that benefit members.

This Kundrat Learning Center, the use of which was donated by Diane Kundrat in memory of her late husband Mickey Kundrat, is known as the KLC. This shop is a physical location where the AWA can hold classes in all aspects of woodturning. There are classes for beginning turners so they can learn the basics, try out a variety of tools and lathes, and provides workshops/classes on various woodturning techniques for all level of turners. The AWA has big plans for this hands-on learning center but tools and equipment, along with money are needed to bring the KLC to full fruition.

AWA is a nonprofit 501(C)3 organization and membership dues cover only a portion of expenses for our member programs and services. That’s why the AWA relies on the generous support of our member community and others for additional underwriting.

We invite you to help advance our educational mission while supporting the woodturning community and enriching your own woodturning experience. A gift to AWA reflects your support of our mission, a dedication to woodturning, and an investment in the future of the art form. Additionally, your gift will help AWA strengthen Arizona communities and enrich lives through such project as the Beads of Courage program for children with severe medical needs.

AWA is an efficient organization and 100% of your tax-deductible (U.S. residents) donation directly supports woodturning education and service programs for the woodturning community.
