MORE WAYS TO SUPPORT CSAW

BECOME AN IN-KIND DONOR

You can give more than money. You can give what you do. If a financial donation isn’t possible right now, consider contributing an in-kind gift to support CSAW’s fundraising efforts. Some ideas include:

A free class or private lesson
Studio class passes or discounts
Artwork or handmade goods
Tickets to a performance or event
Products, experiences, or other offerings from your business

Have an idea? We’d love to hear it! Reach out to admin@csawcircus.org and let’s dream up a way to make your contribution work.

BECOME A MARKETING PARTNER

Turn your community into CSAW supporters! Do you offer classes, workshops, services, tickets, products, or other experiences? Become a CSAW Marketing Partner by sharing our fundraiser with your community and offering a special perk to people who donate.

You choose the donation amount and the perk. For example: Donate $100 to CSAW → receive 10% off your next class pass

It’s a simple way to encourage your clients and community to support racial justice while also introducing them to something you offer.

Your audience supports CSAW. Your business gets new engagement. Everyone gets to be part of the movement.

BECOME A PROFIT-SHARE SUPPORTER

Put your business behind the movement. If you sell products, services, teach classes, or run a business, you can dedicate a portion of your sales to CSAW for a set period of time. Choose an offering, set a timeframe, and select a percentage of proceeds to donate to CSAW.

For example: For two weeks, 10% of all new physical therapy bookings goes directly to CSAW.

You keep doing what you do best while creating a meaningful opportunity to put your values into action.

If this is of interest, you can run your campaign independently and donate proceeds to this fundraiser, OR reach out to us at admin@csawcircus.org about your idea and we may be able to co-promote.

HOST A DONATION-BASED EVENT

If you are an educator (circus or otherwise), offer a free, donation recommended class/workshop. This could be a special workshop or part of your regular teaching offering. You could even offer a free performance or show. It’s up to you!

Set up your event however you like and reach out to your community. You can either ask recipients to donate directly by sharing our flier, or collect the funds yourself and make a single bulk donation after you run your event.
