Be a part of something great!

The non-profit arm of The Curious Forge, Forging Nevada County Forward, supports our thriving Nevada County creative community by engaging in a variety of programs and collaborating with other non-profits. We fund raise for these goals:

  • – Summer Camp for Kids
  • – Art and Making Classes for youth organizations such as Girl Scouts
  • – Vocational opportunities and job training in disciplines such as metal fabrication, woodworking, sewing, etc.
  • Scholarships

The nonprofit also seeks to work with other local non-profits like Women of Worth, NEO, the Nevada City School for the Arts, and others. If you are part of a non-profit and would like to co-sponsor a program, we would welcome your participation.
