WE NEED YOUR HELP.
As a non-profit, volunteer-run, mutual aid organization, we rely on community support to do the work that we do. We do this work out of love, but it is time-consuming and difficult to sustain.
Your support enables Grimalkin to continue supporting LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled and neurodiverse artists through releases, promotion, mentorship, and booking. It also enables us to run public educational workshops for the betterment of our community. The best way to support us is by donating monthly or becoming a Patreon supporter, since our expenses are ongoing.
Scroll down for a list of different ways you can support, including non-financial (we understand that financial support is not viable for some).
Note: Grimalkin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit designated as a public charity 509(a)(2) and your donation is tax deductible. A financial statement is available upon request from the Office of Charitable and Regulatory Programs via the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
If financial support isn’t viable for you, give us a follow on our Bandcamp and social channels to stay connected to our work and hear new releases by the artists we support.
