Support

We want to carry on being as purposeful and radical as we can be, and keep our imaginations from getting stuck in convention, even when faced with budget and capacity constraints. We envision all that we could do with an ongoing substantial budget but all our hopes and dreams are contingent on us getting that funding. We are intermediaries who can only fund others if we ourselves are funded. 

Here’s where you come in…

Make a transformative impact for BIPOC artists, culture bearers, and community members to heal and prosper from historical and ongoing marginalization by systems of oppression by joining us, learning with us, and investing in our work as leaders in this method of trust-based funding. We have demonstrated the need for a new way of funding by our success in reaching communities traditionally underserved by philanthropy. Our process enables gifted funds to reach local artists and cultural bearers in BIPOC, rural, urban, and Native communities.

We are seeking $3 million to continue this radical work. Email michelle@waterers.org to schedule a conversation; we would be delighted to hear from you.
