We're down to the last 24 hours of Indiginerds, and what an amazing time it has been! We just crossed the 200% funded threshold to unlock both the cover enhancements AND another pay raise for our contributors, bringing us up to a grand total of FOUR! And though there's now less than a day left, we know that there's still time to finish strong and see if we can't get our contributors yet another bonus for all of the amazing work they did.

Keep on sharing the project around, and let folks know that if they don't back it now, they may miss out on helping some amazing Indigenous creators during Native American Heritage Month. And if you haven't backed our project yet, now's the time!

Library Donations

You may have already seen the new add on - the Library Donation level. This allows you to purchase a book to be donated towards our Library Donation program, where we send free copies of Indiginerds to Indigenous schools, community centers and more across the US and Canada.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart! A central teaching of all Indigenous cultures is the idea that you give back to your community however you can, and Indiginerds gives us two ways to do that. First, by giving a platform for people to discover new Indigenous talent, like all of the amazing artists and writers who contributed to this project.

And the second way of giving back is far more direct - donating copies of the book to Indigenous youth through our Library Donations level.

Since we unlocked the Library Donations level, we've already had 30+ books donated to the cause, so we should be able to reach all of the places we had in mind and THEN some! 

We also had some folks ask if they could suggest places for the donated copies to be sent, and while we can't guarantee anything (many libraries have a process for receiving books), we are certainly open to suggestions. If you know of a Indigenous library, community center, school or similar that could use a copy of this book, please send an email with their contact info to Indiginerds.anthology (at) gmail.com. Thanks!
