Much like profile pages found on social sites and crowdfunding sites (like Patreon, Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, Facebook, etc.) this page is the beginning of showing which organizations, institutions, artists, and other entities which I’m supporting with a mixture of my time, talent and/or treasure.  If you’re looking for something to support yourself, I can highly recommend any of the following which include links to the organization as well as ways to support them:

Organizations

Non-profits, institutions, and other larger organizations I support on an ongoing basis with my volunteer time, talent, and/or treasure:

• WUNC (Support) My local NPR affiliate.
• Young People’s Performing Company (Support) A local theater company where kids are the performers; I met my husband here when I was a rising high school senior and he was a rising college junior and we did a show together.
• The Durham Savoyards (Support) Devoted to performing the topsy turvy operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan
• IndieWeb.org (Support) A people-focused alternative to the corporate web.

Smaller Projects

Recurring patronage to smaller projects:

• Fan Studies for Fans A lecture series designed to introduce fans to the world of media fan studies, brought to you by Lori Morimoto.
• Community for Creative Adventurers (Patreon) Exactly what it sounds like; created by Kim Werker.
• UfYH (Patreon) Realistic advice for a home you don’t hate.
• Fansplaining (Patreon) A podcast by, for, and about fandom.
• The Latest Kate (Patreon) Encouraging mental health illustrations.
• Emm Roy (Patreon) Positive art.
• Ellie Mackin Roberts (Patreon) Art and academic kindness.
