If you need a sponsorship stipend to cover travel to/from Tucson, local accommodations/transportation, etc; please estimate the amount that would make your participation possible. Southwest Native Nations artists have precedence in the allocation of sponsorships.
If crowdfunding surpasses sponsorship needs, crowdfunds will be used to offset venue fees and other event expenses, or be added to the event proceeds for donation.
This event is coordinated by 100% volunteer facilitators. All crowdfunding allocation, and disbursement of event proceeds, will be clearly disclosed online.
Please share this call for help far and wide. The Sky Islands are historically sacred to southwest Native Nations, internationally revered in biology and astronomy research, and a national treasure of unparalleled biodiversity.
