Overview We want to share our love for our animals, our land and the work we do so that you and your family can appreciate the full dairy farm experience; a true paddock to plate journey. We need your help to build a creamery on our 6th generation family dairy farm. Short Summary Our aim is to not only build a resilient and positive future for our family on the farm but to rebuild vibrancy into the local dairy industry.  We’ve come a long way to create a bright future for our small, some would say micro, dairy from the depths of despair when the effects of deregulation hit. Hard work and a determination to keep this family property, so rich in history and stories of dedication and passion, thriving for generations to come. We’re ready to take the next step and we’ve been working hard to get there. We see this campaign as a chance for our Friends of the Farm to get involved in the next chapter of our story, to be part of something unique and exciting for our family and yours.  Come, join with us on this journey of provenance, of connection and of true culinary joy.  What We Need & What You Get To make our Creamery a reality, we need to raise $70,000. Our Creamery will be a completely mobile, modern facility with a heritage twist in-keeping with our family's history on the farm. We truly believe in buying and supporting local so we're sourcing all local machinery to equip our Creamery including a milk pasteuriser, cream separator, even the Creamery itself.  All of this needs to be to the strictest standards to meet Queensland's SafeFood certification. We've done our research, we know what our customers want and we're ready to jump in, boots n all. Are you ready to don your boots and jump in too?? We have a number of packages based on your level of support. Big or small, your contribution will be greatly appreciated. The Impact We believe there is a future for dairy farms in Queensland and particularly, for small family farms like ours who diversify their farm business to welcome consumers to connect with their food and the farmers that produce it. Now is the time to build resilient farm businesses to ensure the future of fresh milk production in Queensland. We are one of less than 380 dairy farms left in Queensland. It's a fact that is hard to take but it is very real. By building and running the Creamery, we will be creating unique, single source dairy products fresh from the farm for your enjoyment and creating a sustainable future for our historic family farm.  #knowyourlocalfarmer - you can't get a better connection than that! Other Ways You Can Help If you want to support us, but don't have the funds, we understand.  We know that money is tight! Please share the link to this page with your friends on social media; they might like to join our Friends of the Farm and support the farm creamery.

Welcome to New Candler... Welcome to New Candler, cultural epicenter of the United States. Visit Trudon Circle, an art mecca turned tourist trap where you can find musicals, massive neon billboards, street performers, and pickpockets. The bodega on 12th and Salt will sell you spells on the cheap if you know how to ask, but everyone knows they’re better quality on Root and Amsterdam. But if you’re a magic user -- or, as pretty much everyone nowadays says, a muse -- you’d better be wearing a Halo so your magic doesn’t make a ruckus or hurt anyone. Overview VAENCE is an urban fantasy audio drama that deals with themes of abuse, trauma, queer identity, marginalization, rebellion, found family, breaking cycles, and hope. Thematically, VALENCE is a realistic drama with the energy of an espionage-heavy political thriller, an 80’s John Hughes romance, and character-heavy Noah Baumbach indies. Think The Magicians handled with realism, or Mr. Robot handled with whimsy. After being recruited by a new government agency, a depressive magic user must stop the unethical practices of his estranged family and the country’s most successful “medical” tech startup. Season 1 of VALENCE will feature 7 primary actors, 4 secondary actors, and various other voice actors appearing in smaller roles. The first season will consist of 12 episodes featuring full sound design to help our listeners experience the world of VALENCE. The first episode is set to launch on January 11th, 2020, with a bi-weekly release schedule until Season 1 wraps in June 2020. Who We Are Hug House Productions is a podcast collective made up of three friends: Anne Baird, Katie Youmans, and Wil Williams. Hug House Productions is currently producing Scoring Magic, a documentary about the process of making an audio drama, and VALENCE, that very audio drama. Scoring Magic Scoring Magic is a podcast documentary that follows Anne, Katie, and Wil as they make their first audio drama: VALENCE. They’ll share tips, tricks, and resources, but also what it’s like to work on a massive creative project with friends. There’s going to be exciting highs, like the moment they decided to work together–but there’s also going to be some very honest lows along the way. And all of it will lead to an audio drama they hope you’re going to love. This audio drama, that we are asking your help to bring to life. Who's Involved At every 10% reached, we'll announce another member of the cast for VALENCE! The cast announcement will be made here on Indiegogo, on the Hug House Productions social media, and our website will be updated to show who's been announced. Perks We have a ton of fun perks in store for you in exchange for your monetary support of Season 1 of VALENCE. Cantrip: At this tier you'll be listed as a supporter on the Support page of the Hug House Productions website. Charm: At this tier you'll receive the previous reward, as well as your name read out in thanks in an episode of Season 1 of VALENCE. Incantation: At this tier you'll receive all previous rewards, as well as a sticker pack and a postcard from one of the main characters of Season 1 of VALENCE. Invocation: At this tier you'll receive all previous rewards, as well as one (1) secret. At the end of the campaign, we'll send you an NDA and upon signing will be able to ask the creators of VALENCE any one no-limits question about Season 1 of the show and it will be answered fully and truthfully. Bewitchery: At this tier you'll receive all previous rewards, as well as a custom-designed magic sound from Sound Designer Julia Schifini. At the end of the campaign, we'll ask you a few simple questions that will help her to create your magic. Abracadabra: At this tier you'll receive all previous rewards, as well as being listed as a producer for Season 1 of VALENCE. You will also receive a mystery package from tech startup Halo, Inc. in the mail just in time for the launch of the season. Where Does Your Money Go? For Season 1 of VALENCE, we are just looking to fund enough to pay the people involved in our production! Of our initial goal of $4,000... 50% of that is going towards our Sound Designer ($2,000); 45% goes to our 11 Voice Actors ($1,800); and 5% accounts for Indiegogo fees ($200). Once we reach our initial goal, our Sound Designer and Voice Actors will be paid additional percentages of any funds made so that we can pay them the money they deserve. Risks & Challenges The beauty of having a show that is a documentary following our progress in making the show we're asking you to help fund? You see every step, and you can see exactly where your money is going, what it is helping us accomplish, and what risks there are in the process. This is our first audio fiction show, but we have already made a lot of progress in its creation. If we do not reach our goals, we will still be creating VALENCE. This show is a labor of love on the behalf of the Hug House, and we're committed to making it happen, even if we have to pay out of pocket to do it. Other Ways You Can Help We understand that monetary support is not an option for everyone. And that's ok! There are other ways to help us out that will cost you exactly zero dollars. Or if you'd like to donate on a recurring basis instead of just once in this campaign, we have a Patreon! There, you'll be able to pick out different perks not available in this campaign, including access to our patron-only Discord server where you can chat with us and with fellow listeners. Y'know. If that's your thing. And, before you go, thank you. We appreciate your time and hope you'll join us in New Candler for VALENCE on January 11th, 2020!

Our Story We are a group of students from the University of Tennessee, Vols for VMC, helping to raise money for the Volunteer Ministry Center. The VMC helps the impoverished and homeless people of Knoxville get the things they need and also the support they need to get back on their feet. Your contributions will help them make Knoxville a better place for everyone! What We Need & What You Get We are aiming to raise $1000 for the VMC by April 23rd. All of this money will go towards various services they provide for the poor and homeless of the community, such as programs that help people find and maintain housing, a dental clinic, basic necessities, and financial support. If you choose to donate, you will also have the choice to claim one of our perks, which range from a social media shoutout to a VolShop giftcard. Even if we don't reach our goal, 100% of the money we raise will still go to the VMC. Although this is our goal, anything that is raised will be able to help the VMC help the homeless population.  The money that is raised will be used to buy: Sheets Blankets Towels Wash Cloths Pillowcases The Impact Many people take having clean sheets and blankets to sleep on for granted, but the people at VMC don't. They provide hope to the homeless and less fortunate of Knoxville by giving them necessities, such as sheets and blankets, that help them get through hard times. They also provide the support needed for some to obtain their own housing and teaches them how to maintain it.   Risks & Challenges Many people choose not to donate money to the homeless population because they feel that these people should just go out and get a job. If that the only thing that these people needed, then the Volunteer Ministry Center would not be necessary. The VMC strives to help the people in the community to become functioning citizens. Not only by providing food and shelter, but also by: Helping people to get government documents at no cost  Providing transportation to jobs and medical appointments Financially aiding people with their utilities and rent Guiding people in their journey to get their own place and teaching them how to keep it Other Ways You Can Help Even if you are not able to donate, you can still help by: Sharing this campaign with your friends on social media, your share could help us to reach even more donors.

  The Isle of Wight is, in spite of - or possibly as a result of its location - a place bustling with artists, writers, and musicians, in a community with many unique and often surprising facets informed by its geography and sense of displacement from the rest of the UK.Wolverton Manor, in Shorwell, has long been a centre of cultural activity on the island, accommodating artists and musicians, from its concerts of world-class classical music to the annual Folk & Blues Festival, fostering an atmosphere of creativity that has also seen the births of locally legendary Isle of Wight punk, avant-garde and hip-hop projects.Wolverton FM, a new community arts radio station based in the grounds of The Manor, celebrates the island's creative heritage and provides a platform for experiment and expression for the Isle of Wight, through DJ radio shows, documentaries, radioplays, sound installations, field recordings, live sessions and talk radio. We aim to bring the best of international underground culture to the Isle of Wight, and bring the work of Isle of Wight artists, activists and writers to the world. Since launching on October 1st Wolverton FM has featured programmes by artists from the Isle of Wight and all around the world. Regular audio treats include shows on the international songwriting underground by Pete Murphy & David Graham, magical transmissions from Australia from sound-artist Jon Panther,  Isle of Wight Walks with Pauline Stirling, sound-collage and mashed-up mambo from Albuquerque's great collagist The Superfools, USA collage author Tom Comitta's "The Nature Book", Portsmouth's Cantando Female Voice Choir, and a feature on the island's legendary magician David Randini.  Our station is unusual in that we have a particular focus on radio drama, poetry and hoerspiel. Productions in the last fortnight have included an adaptation of an 1854 Punch & Judy script, Rotterdam's Dr Klangendum Radio failing at Beckett's At That Fall, an Oulipo N+13 version of Shakespeare, experimental durational radioplays made from Youtube comments and Amazon reviews, and a KAOS Pad version of Kurt Schwitter's Ursonate. We have also been running regular programming using experimental radio techniques to reflect on the history of the Isle of Wight, with ambient-historical radio collages about the poet David Gascoyne, Lewis Carroll's visits to Sandown Beach, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and the community that centred around Julia Margaret Cameron at Dimbola Lodge. Also coming soon is the entirety of the audio recordings of the 2016 full, continuous 12-day, 1445-person reading of the Chilcot Report at Edinburgh Fringe. Wolverton FM is run by autistic and trans artists, and is developing a large body of programming dedicated to neurodiversity advocacy. The station is home to activist and political content that reflects upon the current socio-economic climate, through an attitude that is inclusive, and is challenging to the status quo.The project is headed by AVANTHARDCOLLECTIVE, which is comprised of island native Lottie Depresstival Bowater - a classical pianist, accordionist and songwriter, multidisciplinary artist/filmmaker and philosophy nerd. Lottie was part of the winning team of the Edinburgh Festival Panel Prize 2016 for "Iraq out and Loud", and is curator of the long running London avant-garde multidisciplinary arts event "Depresstival Presents". Also running the project is Ergo Phizmiz - an artist, radio playwright, composer and opera maker, who has a long association with the Isle of Wight. Both artists recently collaborated with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra on their production of R. Strauss' opera "Ariadne auf Naxos", which received Critic's Pick in the New York Times. Wolverton FM are looking for funds to help with running costs, insurance, data storage, and spreading-the-word. Although we have the basic equipment to run the station, much of it has been professionally used for years and is old and in need of some TLC. We are setting up a series of regular Radio Clubs around the island in which the public can join in high-quality workshops of experimental approaches to making radio, in collaboration with local artists and visiting practitioners, so consequently need to cover venue costs, marketing and travel-costs for these. Wolverton FM is also home to a lovely family of analogue synthesisers and electronic music making machines, and we aim to become a centre for the development of new electronic and computer composition.As shortwave and ham-radio enthusiasts we intend to run a series of workshops in building shortwave radios for island residents. We would like to, within the next year and a half, be able to transmit broadcasts on shortwave. Since shortwave is the original means for broadcasting, and the science and art of radio communication was actually BORN in the west-wight, with the first ever radio experiment being broadcast by Guglieimo Marconi from Alum Bay, naturally, we feel we want to continue the lineage of experimental radio broadcasting.  This basically makes us Marconi and YOU Queen Victoria. How about that? Also, in a time when vast swathes of media and art are diluted through restrictions from corporate interests and commodification of absolutely everything, we believe that radio is potentially the last surviving means of broadcasting that is unfiltered and untarnished by the limitations of mainstream communications languages and media industries.   Radio is the medium in which the imagination has no limits. There is no reason why one scene of your drama should not take place in Bradford and the next scene on the moon: the budget is the same to go to either of these places on radio, making radio a truly democratic medium that, in a time when a large section of people have access to some kind of recording and editing equipment, we should be using to try to reshape our world and reimagine a better one. Wolverton FM are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. We are open to all proposals for radio material and collaborations.  In return for your support we have lots of perks, ranging from badges and stickers, a quarterly fanzine-and-cd compilation of choice cuts of our programming; music releases, artwork, cartooning and original collages; to private gigs, and full audio-productions on subjects of your choosing.

Overview We are Hope Outfitters, a clothing brand on mission. Our motto is Buy 1 Give 100, which means that whenever you buy 1 or more items we give 100% of the profits back to the cause! Every shirt we sell is bringing healing to the sick, freedom to the enslaved, hope to the hopeless and Christ’s love to a world in need. We're spreading this message to the world one store at a time. Our next store in downtown Spokane is a big step of faith and we need your help to complete it! Our Story & Our Mission We have poured everything into this company, not taking a penny of the profit along the way.  Since we started our clothing brand we have given back over $220,000 to the causes we have partnered with.  We started it because Jesus gave up everything to love us and we, in a small way, want to do the same.  So here's how it works: we design and sell apparel and give all of the profits away.  Every year we partner with a new charity, work to create awareness for it and donate 100% of the profits from the sale of our clothing back to its cause.   It may seem small to buy a T-shirt, but it matters.  Mother Teresa said, "...Do small things with great love."   When all of us work together, our small acts can add up to make a big difference.  From the sale of our T-shirts we have healed the sick, sheltered the homeless, rescued girls out of human trafficking, provided clean water, granted money to adopting families, and so much more...all because of your purchases.  Together we are changing our world for Christ.  Together we are making a difference that will last for all eternity. Our Campaign (What We Need) We have exciting news to share--we have decided to open up a new store in downtown Spokane, WA at River Park Square Mall.  We know it's time to take that next big step of faith to expand our mission and message.  So here's where you come in!  God's been faithful to grow our company in the last 5 years, debt free!  Because He has used people like you to help us every step of the way.  When you invest in this project it will go toward three things: Remodeling the existing store (see video for pictures).  This is a huge job: new electrical, drywall, paint, signage, and furniture; cost is $45,000 (We'll try to do as much of the work ourselves to keep the cost down as much as possible.) Designing, developing and manufacturing our new fall clothing line to include tees, hats, dresses, and pants; cost is $55,000. All new inventory to fill up the new shop; cost is $60,000. Total Investment Needed: $150,000 Here is a pic of the store that needs remodeling work: What You Get We are so grateful for anything you can give, but every person who gives over $100 will receive a $40 gift card.  This will allow you to buy any sweatshirt, T-shirt, or hat of your choice.  (The gift card will be sent to your email by March 2019.) To see our clothing click here. The Impact This new store and new line of clothing is important for 3 reasons: First, we'll be able to sell more gear which means we can give back more money to the causes we partner with. Second, we'll be able to spread the light and love of Jesus through downtown Spokane. Third, this is our first big step of faith and it will be a model for opening stores all over America. We completely remodeled an older building for our first shop a few years ago and did most of the work ourselves.  It took an entire summer to finish but since then it has been a source of light and hope in our community.  Here is a picture of our existing store in Richland, WA: Other Ways You Can Help Maybe you don't have the means to give.  You can also help by sharing this campaign on social media.  Use the tools here and help us get the word out.  Together we can make a difference in the lives of so many around the world!!

OUR STORY   Hi!  We're Khadijah and Kiana, co-owners of the Kay & Kay Group.  We met while living on the same floor in our freshman dorm at Temple University.  We quickly bonded and eventually realized we shared a similar passion for learning about and coming up with new product ideas!  We enjoy wearing our hair in various hairstyles (natural, extensions, braids, you name it, we’ve tried it), which means we spend a great deal of time, effort and financial resources to maintain those hairstyles.  Of course we want to protect our investment! We are sure you all can relate! When we began discussing and researching waterproof yet fashionable headwear, we couldn't find anything that was TOTALLY WATERPROOF, STYLISH, BREATHABLE, SOFT, STRETCHY & COMPACT.  Trust us, we purchased and tried just about everything on the market!  It was then that we KNEW we had to invent our own.     We’ve been working on AQUA Waterproof Headwear over the past 5 years and KNOW that we’ve created the perfect solution and are ready to share this amazing and greatly needed product with YOU!

THANK YOU

The story so far... As you all know, the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown is making this a very tough time for everybody. Amidst the chaos, we have had to take the very difficult and dissappointing decision to curtail our USA tour  early. Aside from the obvious financial losses sustained from missed gig fees and merchandise sales, the biggest loss on our part is the experience of the concerts themselves - the joy of sharing live music, and getting to meet and chat with you,  our wonderful fans. We love to do what we do, and touring is always a big risk when we have to put up so much money up front, especially when we try to work in the USA. It costs Calan around £800 to get our working visas for America, £2000 for flights, around £1000 in accommodation, and on this particular occasion we have lost money  in fees due to cancellations. Our tour of the U.K. in April is also now in question. Since it seems like we'll have a fair bit of time on our hands in the coming weeks, we want to take this opportunity to stay creative, and try and recoup some of our losses by connecting with you  on a virtual level. What You Get We want to offer you something  that under normal circumstances would not be possible. Here’s what we can offer:: • Commission your own tune, written by a Calan member (10 available from each member) • A one on one lesson via Skype (or most other video messaging services). This includes fiddle, guitar, accordion, harp, and clog dancing, whistle, pipes or songs. You could have a lesson on how to play, or even book one of us for an hour to learn some Welsh repertoire! • Get yourself a copy of our upcoming album ‘Kistvaen’, Or a Calan tune book, especially dedicated to you or the person of your choice. • Patrick’s famous custom made Bollywood jacket from the Solomon album. He spent his entire clothing budget on one jacket! (You can literally buy the clothes off our back! (Dry cleaned!) • Enter our tune raffle! Write your own tune, and send it to us in a way that’s easiest for you. The winning tune will be made part of our repertoire! • Any one off donations would also be gratefully received, no matter how small or large. Our message to you guys... In challenging times like these, we appreciate our fans more than ever - your generosity and support is the reason we can keep doing what we do, and we sincerly hope that before too long we can get back out on the road, and back to entertaining you! Most importantly, we want you all to stay happy and healthy, With love, Calan
