JOIN THE OVERACHIEVERS' CLUB

Did you know that Hyphen’s a nonprofit? Currently produced by an all-volunteer staff? Since we borrow office space and 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.

Amount Level Hyphen Stuff
$50 and up piano recital winners one gift / free sub
$100 & up spelling bee champions one gift / free sub + two general event entries
$250 & up class valedictorians two gift subs + two general event entries + one hyphen tee
$500 & up summa cum laude grads two gift subs + four general event entries + two hyphen tees
$1000 & up presidents, popes and poets laureate four gift subs + four general event entries + three hyphen tees
$5000 & up M.D.'s six gift subs + six general event entries + four hyphen tees

Donations are cumulative within a calendar year: e.g., $50 now and $50 later within the same calendar year make you a spelling bee champ; $250 now and $750 later make 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.
