There are so many exciting things for us to share with you all in January. We have got a whole new look and feel coming up, a fresh intro video, and we’ll be growing our team! See you in the New Year!

Nonsense NYC

Meanwhile we’re extremely honored to welcome Jeff Stark and the Nonsense NYC team to our group of pilot accounts. The Nonsense NYC mailing list directly inspired and helped us to contribute to New York’s underground art scene over the past decade and has helped countless wild and experimental events find their audience — so we’re thrilled to be able to help out in return by helping them find their own supporters.

Buy a membership and support Nonsense NYC here.

Silent Barn

Thank you to 310 supporters (177 in a single day!) for choosing to become members of the Silent Barn — and helping them clear their goal by over 111% — This means together we may have finally created a way to keep places like Silent Barn alive for the long term!

You can see their fundraiser and become a member below.

For some insight into how hard it is to run a small art space like Silent Barn and the role that memberships play in sustaining their future you can read this article recently published by the Village Voice:

Testimonials

Even more valuable than the money supporters offer a movement is understanding what motivates them to give. Recognizing the power that can have in sustaining everyone involved — we added a new feature that lets them share their testimonials while donating

NYE withfriends

As you make plans for the last night of the year — please consider joining withfriends in celebrating these movements as they say goodbye to 2017 and ring in the New Year.
