You know who you're backing
A name, a face, a body of work, and usually a town near yours. Not a campaign page.
You watch it get made
Updates as the work comes together. The finished piece when it's done. Your name on it, if you want it there.
Back more than one way
Money, a room for an afternoon, gear, an introduction. All of it counts, and all of it is credited.
Give to a grant fund
Every community can run one. The Garden's grant fund is run by Abiding Practice, a 501(c)(3), so gifts to it are tax-deductible. About 87% of each gift is granted.
What it costs
A patron account is free. You decide what to give, and when. Larger commitments to a grant fund are worth a conversation — those are the gifts a creative can plan around.
