SUPPORT
Join us in growing an inclusive, equitable, and diverse publishing ecosystem.
Partnership Opportunity...
We are looking for partners who can help us achieve our ambitious goal of tripling our catalog over two years. An investment in the form of an endowment will have an incredible impact on our ability to advance our mission and contribute to a healthy democracy for many years to come. MVP endowment opportunities include: General operating support. General operating gifts allow us to subsidize the cost of publishing across genres and audiences, putting more of our books in the hands of readers of all ages. Conservation endowment. These gifts will exclusively support the publication of stories related to conservation, including translated works.  Jewish culture & Holocaust. In order to preserve these important stories and expand our readers’ understanding on these subjects, these gifts will be dedicated to the publication of new and translated works from Jewish authors. The work we are doing has expanded steadily since our inception; we are now at a pivotal point for increasing our impact and telling even more stories from marginalized voices. Though we have already achieved much on our own, we cannot hope to meet our ambitious goal without support from key partners who align with our mission to bridge equity gaps in the environmental and cultural economies. An endowment gift will ensure that we preserve history, expand readers’ world views, and invite the next generations to continue sharing their stories.
Donors make all the difference!
