WHSH c/o Rath Skallion

We pre­fer dona­tion by check or money order, because we lose a per­cent­age to pro­cess­ing fees on pay­pal, but any and all kinds of dona­tions are welcome!

_______________________________________________________________

Last year we col­lec­tively raised over $16,000, through reg­is­tra­tion income, lots of fundrais­ing events, and gen­er­ous gifts in response to the invi­ti­a­tion let­ter. This year,  we think we really can do it again.

This is the idea:
  • $20,000 can be easy-breezy if each one of us raises about $200 over the next six months (100 peo­ple x $200 = $20K!).
  • This year, instead of a “reg­is­tra­tion fee”, we’re ask­ing atten­dees to raise an amount that they feel able to com­mit to by the time WHSH rolls around. This could be $60 or this could be $600, we’re hop­ing for an aver­age of about $200 per per­son. We’re com­mit­ted to keep­ing WH/SH self-funded, and also mak­ing sure it’s acces­si­ble to com­mu­nity mem­bers regard­less of income level.
  • The money goes into the col­lec­tive pool and at the end, we’ve all made this gift to Ida (and to each other) together!

 

We’re also schem­ing about larger-scale fundrais­ing events. Want to throw a WHSH ben­e­fit?  We have seed money avail­able, so get in touch at workhard.stayhard@gmail.com.  Stay tuned to this site for easy-to-accomplish fundrais­ing ideas and we’re look­ing for fundrais­ing coor­di­na­tors (one on each coast!) to help con­nect folks and get organized.

WHERE THE $$ GOES:

  • WHSH pri­or­i­tizes sup­port­ing local busi­nesses as much as pos­si­ble. About $11,000 of our bud­get last year went to local hard­ware stores and food sup­pli­ers. Our spend­ing in Smithville was not unno­ticed by the local busi­nesses. We are excited to con­tinue our rela­tion­ship with these purveyors.
  • WHSH is thus far funded by all of us who love Ida. We want you to join us in Sept if you can but if not we hope you would con­sider donat­ing money to WHSH.
      • $10 pays a cou­ple boxes of nails
      • $35 pays for some­ones meals for the whole week
      • $100 just pays for a lot of shit

    Hey there!

    I didn’t get any receipt of reg­is­tra­tion, so I just wanted to check that it’s all square.

    With love,
