We know you're already a member. Please help us reach the folks who aren't yet! (Patreon)

We are going into the last week of the Wicked Grounds annual Patreon drive and we need your support.

Mostly, we need help to cut through the algorithm clutter.

We know that you are already a member; you read our emails, you engage, you care. Your mission is to share this drive by inviting other folks to be part of it -- folks that you already know love Wicked Grounds and want us to succeed but may not know that we need them.

Literally every membership at every level makes a difference to our long-term sustainability. We use the number of members as a proof of support with folks like our landlord, vendors & lenders. Even memberships at the $1/month level make a huge difference in those conversations.

Please be a part of it. 

​Facebook event listing for our virtual Patreon drive here! ​

We can personally only invite 50 people on Facebook, and there is no invite function on FetLife. So we need your help!

If you're out on Facebook, please invite folks that you know love Wicked Grounds but who may not be a member yet.

​FetLife event listing for our virtual Patreon drive here! ​

On FetLife you can't invite people to an event at all -- but your RSVPs will drive visibility!

We guess you could also just share this email. Old school!!!

Here's what people will see when they go to the event listings:

You've been invited to this virtual fundraising event because you love Wicked Grounds.

Maybe it's attending your favorite munches. It might be our amazing coffee and homemade treats, or our hand-crafted gear. It might be the great advice you get from Mir and our baristas about the best parties and groups in the local kink scene. Or perhaps you're not even in the Bay Area, but you attend lots of our online classes, and stop in every time you're in town.

For whatever reason, you love us. And we love you right back.

So, I'm going to get Gross for a moment. Terry Gross. (Yes, that's an NPR-based dad joke.)A fact: 35% of our monthly cafe budget comes from our Patreon subscribers. It's literally impossible to keep the lights on and the doors open otherwise.

If you value the unique environment that you can only find at Wicked Grounds, we encourage you to become a member today. Memberships at any level -- from $1 to significantly more than that -- maintain a valuable safe space for kinksters, queer folks, trans folks, and everyone else who just needs a safe space to be themselves in all their parts. We don't need much from any single person. In fact, if everyone reading this who isn't subscribed just signed up at the $1 - $5 level each month, we could sail on through the new year with no stress at all -- for you, or us.

We recognize that many of you reading this are new to the scene -- and many of you may not be in the San Francisco Bay Area at all. We want this membership to be valuable to you, no matter where you are in your journey, or in the world. Last week, we added a new benefit for VIP members at the Kitty level or higher ($30+/ month) to get one free Kink 101 class (or any other class taught by Mir) each month! VIP level members also get free entry to lots of other cool stuff throughout the year, like the amazing VIP Lounge we just held for MEGAHOOD.We encourage you to take a moment now and support the spaces you believe in.

Thank you -Mir

PS: We hate fundraising. Like, a lot. But we love being here for you, and this is necessary. Thanks for listening.PPS: There's as 85%+ chance that if you can see this in this group, you're not yet a member. Why not change that now?

PPPS: Another fun way to support the Grounds is to check out all our cool merch at WickedGrounds.clothing. We hear there's a new puppy logo shirt . . . !
