We Need Your Support to Produce Season Two!
Where does Financial Support for the show come from?
- Corporate and Charitable Underwriting funds production of the Volunteer Woodworker. We do not receive funding from public television in any form. This funding is given in exchange for " Funded By ....." credits before and after the broadcasts as well as in print, web and social media connected with the show.
- Commemorative Credits honoring tax free donations from individuals, families and anonymous benefactors will appear in the credits at the end of the show.
