How backing an artist works

Find a page, give what feels right, follow along. A few minutes, start to finish.

2 min read

Every campaign on We Fund Artists is the artist's own page: their story, what they're making, a budget line by line, and the perks they're offering in return. You back the project from that page, and everything you need to know is on it before you pay.

What happens, in order

  1. Pick an amount. Prices are minimums, from $5, so give what feels right.
  2. Choose a perk if you like, or give without one. Perks have limited quantities and a closing date.
  3. Pay on Stripe's secure page: card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Card details never touch this site.
  4. You get Stripe's receipt by email, a thank-you from the artist, and a spot on the wall of love: your first name and last initial, or Anonymous, never the amount.
  5. Follow along: updates from the artist by email, and your perk when it's ready.

Keep what you raise

Every contribution goes to the project, whether or not the goal is reached. There's no all-or-nothing deadline and nothing is held back waiting for a target.

The budget on the page shows where each dollar goes, and the page stays up after the perks close, so you can back the project right up to the end.
