Waterfall Forge’s Donation Efforts

Over the last eight years or so, Waterfall Forge has built and donated over thirty five copper fountains and fiberglass sugar kettles to assist in fundraising for local, national charities and non-profits. As of December 2019, our efforts have helped raise over $85,000 for the organizations we have been working to help. The auctions and raffles held by these groups have been successful through the hard work of many volunteers and the generosity of folks like you. All the money from the auctions and raffles goes to benefit the groups. The most recent group we have been working with is the ALS Association of Louisiana and Mississippi. Since October of 2017, they have raised over $11,600 from the auction and raffling of our work.
