Nourish

You may have arrived because something here feels familiar, hopeful, useful, or worth protecting.

imPEARma is an exploratory creative nonprofit in formation, being developed for philanthropic support.

It is not yet formally registered or accepting financial contributions.

When the organization is ready to receive and steward financial gifts responsibly, they will be welcomed plainly and gratefully.

Financial support will be essential. It can help make possible the design and production of offerings, online resources, art materials, postage, collaborative exchanges, and the responsible structure behind the work.

We do not imagine money as the only form of nourishment.

Attention, encouragement, expertise, introductions, materials, participation, returned work, collaboration, and sharing an offering with care may all help nourish the ecosystem around imPEARma.

Nourishment may move in many directions.

A child’s experience may nourish a grown-up.

A collaboration may offer something meaningful to an institution.

Something returned may later nourish another child, a future offering, a supporter, or imPEARma itself.

Someone who helps nourish the work may discover that the exchange offers something back.

An offering may matter beyond the person who first receives it and in directions none of us can fully predict.

Support helps create the conditions in which the work can continue. It does not purchase control over what the work—or the people receiving it—must become.

Generosity may help tend the clearing without needing to own the fruit.

Nothing is owed.

Gratitude is celebrated and so greatly welcomed.
