Like all the other nonprofits out there, we’re reminding you that our work isn’t possible without the generosity of folks who believe in the power of creativity to heal, inspire, and employ. That sounds a lot like you, right?
We thought so.
We can also see that you’re wondering exactly where your dollars are going to go. And we’re glad you’re wondering!
At PATTERN, we’re so much more than the magazine we all love. And we prefer to keep our programming as timely and responsive to our ever-growing community as possible. So, when it comes to how your contributions make our work bigger and better, it’s a bit easier to say it like this:
We’re committed to the young content creators. Every year we offer some of the best, immersive education to more than 30 interns and creative fellows. Helping them build skills, portfolios, and networks to position them for professional success—writers, photographers, videographers, social media specialists, graphic designers, etc. etc. etc.
We’re committed to the hustlers. Think mobile retail incubation. Think sewing classes and certifications. Think community conversations about navigating the challenges of being a creative entrepreneur.
We’re committed to patrons. Our print magazine is 80% Indiana talent featuring Indiana talent. It’s award-winning with a distribution reaching coast to coast. We’re making sure the world sees the best creative talent Indiana has to offer. We want you to know that it’s cool to be proud of what we’re all doing here together.
Here’s how you can help today:
- Give. Every dollar helps move us toward better things for our contributors, programmers, creative fellows, interns, and staff.
- Sponsor. We want to put your logo on our digital covers, on all the marketing materials for our next event, on our newsletter, all over Vol. 23.*
- Subscribe. Tell us you care by subscribing to PATTERN in print. Our shelf price has gone up to $20/issue, but subscriptions are still only $30 for this bi-annual creative feast.
- Share. We want every single person in Indiana to know about PATTERN
* Email jenny.walton@patternindy.com if you’re interested in exploring a PATTERN sponsorship.
