For many years, San Francisco, California-based philanthropist Pam Baer has been involved with several non-profit organizations. As an advisory board member of the non-profit Nest organization, Ms. Baer shared some of Nest’s recent news in an article on the Pulse Headlines website.
Supply chains have been frequently been mentioned in the news lately, and Pamela Baer says that the handcrafted sector of the economy remains largely untapped. Having worked with the Nest organization for five years now, she has had the opportunity to closely see the economic impact that handcrafted items create.
The Nest Organization regularly helps more than 1,500 producers worldwide of handcrafted artistic products to grow their businesses. The organization provides these artistic businesses with numerous free resources that can help them to grow. By doing so, the artist-creators and their local economies can benefit economically.
When handcrafted artists become members of the Nest Guild, they have the opportunity to explore the many different business-growth options that are available to them.
In August, Nest and the creative goods marketplace Etsy worked together to get the handwoven baskets made by the Gullah Basket Weavers listed on Etsy. Previously, Etsy and Nest successfully partnered to place the Gee’s Bend line of quilts on the online marketplace.
According to Pamela Baer, Nest’s partnerships are positively affecting not only the creators and their businesses, but their overall culture also benefits. She says that as a member of its advisory board, she is proud of the work that Nest has done, while it continues to move forward.
The Texas-born Pamela Baer is married to San Francisco Giants’ CEO Larry Baer, and they are the parents of four children. In addition to her work with Nest, Ms. Baer is a board member and/or trustee with several other family and community-oriented groups and organizations. See this article for additional information.
