Radically Free
The end of the year is when nonprofits make their big fundraising push. This year, we’re trying something radically different: instead of simply asking people to give, we’re asking people to join.
The idea is simple:
Make Letterform Archive free to enter for every visitor in 2027. No admission fees. No economic barriers to our shared design history.
Here's how:
From November 12–December 31, every $5,000 in new membership revenue will unlock a day of free admission. Our goal is $20,000— enough to make admission free every day the Archive is open.
Radical access extends beyond our doors.
Our $20,000 goal will also help us add 500 new objects to the Online Archive in 2027, bringing even more of the collection to people around the world.
