What is CRAF?

CRAF? Yes. Not craft, not crap, not crab … CRAF. Capital Region Advertising Federation. That’s short for “an organization designed to connect, advance, and recognize EVERYONE in our regional communications community.” No, it’s not cray. It’s CRAF.

High School Scholarships

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Craf offers annual scholarships to students who will be attending an accredited, local four-year college. Applications are accepted March through May and awarded to the students mid-July.

Networking

Our community is only as strong as our networking connections. Meet like-minded, creative individuals who do more than collect business cards. Make a networking connection that could open new doors and lead to new opportunities.

Social Events

Craf knows you work very hard during your ‘9 to 5’ (and perhaps your ‘5 to 9’) and you deserve to let your hair down from time to time. Join us for a social event to help let loose, unwind, and find a group of creative individuals.
