You keep 90%

When someone backs you for $100, you get $90. The other $10 runs the platform. On the part of any gift over $1,000, we take 5%, not 10%. For now we keep track of what you're owed and pay it out to you ourselves.

There's money set aside for your work

Half of every membership funds grants for other creatives. Members propose projects, and a review team decides.

Real work, from people nearby

Partners — churches, businesses, nonprofits — post paid work here. Each post says who is asking and what it pays.

Keep growing

Find your path through classes, coaching, and workshops. Join a cohort, work with a creative or spiritual coach, or sit in on a critique night.

You won't be doing this alone

The Garden is the Christian creative community on the platform. Share your work, get feedback, meet people making things near you.

What it costs

Joining is free. Membership is $10 a month. It lets you apply to paid work, respond to gigs, and ask a grant fund to back your project.
