Hi cardies, we’re doing a fundraiser, or ‘the Great newCardigan September Donation Drive’ to use its full name. We haven’t run a fundraiser in almost four years. We’ve drawn down our funds, reduced our costs, and relied on a small number of regular and ad-hoc donors – thank you, we appreciate you a lot! However, we need to keep newCardigan solvent, meaning we need your help to keep going for another year. Our fundraising goal is $1000 – this will cover admin costs associated with being incorporated, website and database hosting, and room hire for forthcoming cardiParties. We know money is tight these days for a lot of people, which is why we try and keep our events free as much as possible.
At the moment we are already halfway towards our goal – a huge thank you to those who have donated so far. If you can spare a few dollars to help keep the servers whirring and the cardies partying, head to https://newcardigan.org/donate. Please be aware that donations are not tax-deductible. Thank you for your support!
We’ve also relaunched our new and improved discord server! Following our recent cardiCast series on life after Library Twitter, the cardiCommittee decided to revitalise our existing server, to give our members somewhere free, friendly and anti-fascist for online chatting and networking. Some of you may recall joining us for online cardiParties during lockdown. The server is still a work in progress, so we’re very open to your ideas for cardiCord. Just head to https://newcardigan.org/discord to join up.
