Your support will make a difference
A letter from our Board Chair
The Ely Folk School has a prominent place atop the hill in downtown Ely. You can help us continue to serve as a welcoming presence to tourists, established residents, and newcomers alike.
An investment in the Ely Folk School is an investment in lifelong learning in a world that’s proven there is an infinite amount to learn.
Donors have shared that they give for a variety of reasons, but a common theme is recognition that a donation to the Ely Folk School brings people together.
“The subject matter draws you in,
but the knowledgeable instructors and group environment keep you coming back.”
