Support the Future of OyG Projects with a Monthly Gift
Dear OyG Community,
Like many artist-run spaces, OyG Projects is navigating a challenging financial year. Since COVID, we've worked tirelessly to keep our doors open — drawing down our emergency reserves and steadily repaying an SBA loan that helped sustain us during the most uncertain times. While we’ve been fortunate to receive support in the past from grant makers, including the NEA, those sources are increasingly unpredictable in today’s rapidly shifting funding landscape.
Because of these challenges, we are currently faced with a $25,000 deficit for 2026. We must raise these funds in order to complete this year's programming, and to begin planning for our near future.
We are asking you to help sustain it
The most impactful way you can contribute is by becoming a monthly donor with a recurring gift of $5, $10, $25 or more a month.
We hope you will help us meet a tangible short-term goal:
75 monthly donors by the end of Summer.
We are reaching out at an important moment for OyG Projects to ask for your support. We did not receive a major recurring grant this year and are working to fill a significant gap in our budget as we work to sustain programming and grow to support artists.
Your donations help OyG Projects remain sustainable amid increasingly limited grant funding. Your consistent commitment and support help us develop effective budgets, and help to stabilize our finances in between grant periods.
If you choose to donate $10, $25, $50, $100 per month or more we will provide you with free applications to our annual solo show open call and our annual curatorial open call. We will also offer occasional discounts for future events.
A $10 per month donation helps support printing of exhibition materials for each show.
A $25 per month donation helps support an exhibition's photographic documentation.
A $50 per month donation helps support the installation and shipping for one exhibition.
A $100 per month donation helps support gallery assistants who keep the gallery open.
We are so grateful for your support, and hope you will help us continue to provide the programming and opportunities that support artists and bring our community together.
OyG Projects is a 501c(3) nonprofit and your donation is tax deductible. Thank you for 13 years of OyGoodness!
