For our first digital fundraiser of the year, we’ll be joining forces with Amplify Austin for 48 hours to raise $10,000.
Any money you raise will support our:
Creative Future of Texas Fund, which distributes $10,000 in support to women and LGBTQ+ independent founders in Texas per year
Community Leaders of Color Mental Health Fund, which provides more than 125 pro bono therapy sessions to creative leaders pursuing racial justice in Austin
East Austin community space, which annually provides four small business owners with free space to create and share their work for one month each
Plus, every donation you make on March 2 and 3 will be matched up to three times.
We are currently qualified for the following matches through Amplify Austin:
ILHIGH Amplify Fund: Small- and Medium-Sized Nonprofits $20,000 Match
AppSumo: AppSumo Gives Back: $6,000 Match for Women in Business

How to Donate:
Head to our Amplify Austin page.
Make a donation anytime on March 2 or 3.
Add #LOVETITOS with your donation when you check out.
Feel good all day long.
WHY DOES DONATING HELP?
Through our programs, we welcome more than 20,000 guests per year. For a three-person staff, producing these spaces and investing in research, education and community-building has hard costs, so any donation to our programming counts a whole lot.
We need to bring on another full-time staff member and expand our headquarters into a larger space. This is the only way our impact WILL remain sustainable.
For context, annually, our impact looks like:
✰ Distributing more than $40,000 in creative commissions and micro-grants to women and LGBTQ+ artists, designers, founders and community-builders in Texas
✰ Connecting 1500+ women and LGBTQ+ small business owners to exhibition spaces and opportunities
✰ Providing 1,000+ with creative workshops, as well as experimental entrepreneurship and inclusive leadership education, per year
✰ Facilitating a $10,000 Mental Health Fund which provides 75 pro-bono therapy sessions to creative leaders of color doing racial justice work
✰ Collaborating with 25+ nonprofits, governmental organizations and grassroots groups to advance gender and racial equity in creative industries in Texas
