For Patrons and Supporters

Support living heritage with purpose

Patronage helps create the time, resources, and infrastructure required for cultural research, documentation, preservation, and community-rooted work.

Support may be directed toward:

  • Field documentation
  • Research and writing
  • Archive development
  • Practitioner conversations
  • Educational resources
  • Community-led initiatives
  • Preservation and transmission activities

We aim to communicate clearly how support is used and what it makes possible. Patronage should strengthen cultural work, not determine or distort the priorities of communities.
