Fundraising at Stimpunks isn’t about polished pitches or persuasion theater. It’s about honest needs, direct support, and shared responsibility. We ask for money not to chase growth, but to pay people, sustain care infrastructure, and keep this work usable for real lives.

This guide shows how we fundraise—not as a checklist of tactics, but as a set of practices rooted in lived experience, mutual aid, and transparency. You won’t find pressure language, guilt tripping, or vague promises here; you’ll find clear goals, grounded language, and ways of asking for support that respect both the people giving and the people this work serves.

Fundraising is not a side project.
It’s how we make care, access, and autonomy possible.

In summary:

No polish.
No pressure.
No pretending money isn’t power.

We ask plainly for what it costs to keep disabled people paid, supported, and alive.
If you can help, welcome.
If you can’t, you still belong.

This is care work—not a pitch.

One in seven persons in the world has a disability. Yet, grants for persons with disabilities constitute just 2% of all human rights funding.
