Support the Work

Your gift funds research, programming, and resources for indie artists and the organizations that back them.

Independent creators are building real businesses with almost none of the infrastructure that makes that easier. No benchmark data. No research built for their scale. No community that connects the creative economy to the creator economy. We have spent six years building that infrastructure anyway, funded by our own client work.

Now you can help fund it directly.

A new partnership with Group 36

Could Be Pretty Cool is a certified B Corp and Public Benefit Corporation. That structure lets us build products and serve clients, but it means we cannot accept charitable donations on our own.

That changes today. Through our fiscal sponsorship with Group 36, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, supporters can now make tax deductible contributions that fund our public research and community programming.

Group 36 receives and administers your gift. The funds support the charitable work described below.

What your donation funds

Research that gets published, not paywalled
Original benchmark research on how independent creators and small arts organizations actually grow. Findings go back to the people who contributed them, free.

Programming for creators who are figuring it out alone
Workshops, listening sessions, and community access for artists and creative entrepreneurs building outside traditional institutional support.

Free and reduced cost resources
Templates, guides, and analytics tools made available at no cost to independent artists and to the small organizations serving them.

Capacity for the organizations that support artists
Data and digital media training for arts nonprofits and community organizations that do not have that expertise in house.
