Don’t have funds to invest right now? Consider investing in other ways:

Spread the word to your network. (Are 50 of your IG followers willing to donate $100? That alone would support almost 10% of our annual budget.)
Are you an artist interested in being a part of this work? Reach out!
Are you willing to donate administrative time to fund development, communications (social media, eblasts, etc), legal advice, etc? Reach out!
Do you have access to a venue in Chicago that we could potentially use to host an event or production? Let us know.
Do you have relationships with funders or angel donors who might be interested in this idea? Let’s talk.
Are you a local organization that wants to partner? Let’s meet!
If any of these alternative ways of supporting resonate with you, please contact us.
