Did you know that Hyphen’s a nonprofit? Currently produced by an all-volunteer staff? We have no office and since we don’t get paid, all donations go toward the production of the magazine and the various events we put on to promote the magazine. This makes us — that’s right — overachievers. And you can join us by joining the Overachievers Club — listed here in increasing order of parental pride.

Club members will receive the following thank-you’s for supporting Hyphen, by the end of the calendar year of contribution, if not earlier.

Donations are cumulative within a calendar year: e.g., $10 now and $40 later within the same calendar year makes you a spelling bee champ; $50 now and $950 later makes you an M.D. — just like that.

Donations can be made online through Independent Arts & Media simply by clicking the button below.

* Hyphen is fiscally sponsored (but not funded) by Independent Arts & Media, a service organization for public media and community arts. Contributions made through Independent Arts & Media are tax-deductible. Any amount is deeply appreciated.

Please note clicking the button will take you to the Indepenent Arts & Media's site. When filling out the form, please select Hyphen from the pull-down menu when it asks who you want to direct the contribution to.

Donations can also be sent via check or money order payable to "Independent Arts & Media," with "Hyphen" in the note.

Please include the following info:

• Name:
• Address:
• City, State, Zip:
• email address:**
• phone number:**

Please indicate if you do NOT wish to be thanked publicly by name.

**no spam or solicitation, we promise! For address verification purposes only.
