Stimpunks runs on mutual aid, and mutual aid runs on people. Every gift, every hour, every share, every citation is part of a web of care that keeps our work alive and keeps our community fed, housed, connected, and heard. This page is our thank-you to the people who hold that web with us.
We don’t fundraise with pity. We fundraise for dignity. And we don’t treat support as charity handed down from above — support is reciprocity, woven across a community of Disabled and neurodivergent people and the accomplices who stand with us. Supporters aren’t patrons above the work. They’re part of it.
To our donors
Your gifts become real help. They fund mutual aid for people navigating hard moments and hard systems, creator grants for Disabled and neurodivergent artists and makers, open resources anyone can use, and the living wages and care infrastructure that make participation possible. One-time gifts let us respond fast. Monthly gifts let us plan, pay people, and keep the lights on.
We publish where the money goes. You can see it all at our Accountability Hub and trace the difference your support makes on our Impact page. If you’d like to give or keep giving, our Give page lays out every option, including employer matching.
To our volunteers
So much of what we build is built by hands that aren’t on payroll. Volunteers write, illustrate, moderate, research, test, translate, and show up — often while managing their own access needs and hard days. That labor is not free, and we never pretend it is. We name it, we honor it, and we work to build the kinds of accommodations that make contributing sustainable rather than extractive. If you’d like to lend your time and skills, start at our Volunteer page.
To our supporters
The widest ring of our community is everyone who carries the work outward. Because everything we publish is openly licensed, using our work is itself a form of support: the educator who brings a resource into a staff meeting, the designer who cites our glossary, the organizer who shares a field guide, the person who forwards a newsletter to someone who needs it. Sharing Stimpunks with one educator, designer, or organizer moves us forward. Every remix, every link, every “have you seen this?” is support.
About our Donor Wall
We used to keep a Donor Wall here. Our current donation platform doesn’t support embedding one, so for now this appreciation is collective by design — and that fits how we already work. We honor the Donor Bill of Rights, and we protect donor privacy as part of community safety. We don’t sell or expose donor data.
If you’d like to be recognized by name, tell us and we’ll gladly do it. Otherwise, know that you’re held in the collective thank-you that opens this page — and that your name is safe with us.
Whether you give, volunteer, cite, share, or simply refuse — alongside us — to believe that we are the problem: thank you. You make the web hold.
