The simplest way to support IYB is to buy the work. Every purchase supports the person behind the story and helps fund the system that makes the next collaboration possible.
For people who want to support the infrastructure itself — the platform, the creative work, and the ability to keep this going — there are a few additional ways to help.
Support Options
Back a StoryPut direct financial support behind a specific active collaboration. Your contribution goes toward production costs and support for the artner at the center. You’ll get updates on the project as it develops.
Support the PlatformHelp fund IYB’s operating infrastructure: the creative team, production systems, and the capacity to take on new work. Contributors receive a quarterly transparency report showing where funds went.
Partner with IYB
For organizations, studios, or individuals who want to work together at a structural level. This isn’t sponsorship — it’s a real partnership with shared creative input and co-investment in specific projects.
A Note on LanguageIYB doesn’t use the word “donate.” Support here is an exchange. You’re funding real work, and you’ll see where that money goes. That distinction matters — it’s how the whole system is built.

Where your support goes
Into days like these: sitting with someone in the hardest season of their life and making something real with them.

“Goosebumps over here!! This is the antidote to the doom so many are feeling right now.”
