Our Mission: To help people find their joy and spread it.

Joy, by our standards, is not just a project. It's everything that helps alleviate the things that take away joy, like the "limiting joy" list below.


We work to eliminate all the subtle and visible ways joy becomes limited: worry, fear, safety issues, housing issues, debt, hunger, nutritional deficiencies, lack of hobbies, lack of connection to community and more.

Joy becomes limited when we can't afford a full belly to complete our art, or we just can't seem to find the time or money to get our long-term joy started. That's where we help.

By pooling together all the donations we can, we will distribute about 80% of the the funds evenly to all who signup with a goal of increasing their joy in a humane and planet-friendly way. 

The other 20% will be used to cover our costs, used to invest in Joy Givers and other revenue streams so we can grow the pool with more than just donations and grants.
