Millard Fontenot Memorial Scholarship Fund

It's amazing how supportive and affirming the men's fiber community can be. Especially at the Men's Knitting Retreats.

Mill was an amazing advocate for men in the fiber arts, and we're hopeful to continue his legacy through this scholarship fund. Please donate if you can.

Thanks to your generosity in the first year of this fund's existence, we have been able to offer 8 scholarships to deserving men who have made a contribution to the men's fiber community. Thank you to all who helped make this happen.

It's incredibly satisfying that Mill's name lives on through these grants.

Do you have a favorite regional retreat to which you'd like to donate scholarship funds?

Would you like to use some of your charitable dollars to support the men's knitting/crochet/spinning/weaving, etc. community?

Please consider a gift to The Millard Fund.

Our first donation to the South East Men's Knitting Retreat Scholarship Fund was made in memory of Lou Simon. Anyone else interested in donating to his memory, I'm sure the SEMKR fund could use the scholarship dollars.
