How Will I Use The Funds?

Nastassja Swift

I typically rely on sales in November and December to keep me afloat during the slow months of January and February. Unfortunately, my 2023 didn't end as expected and I experienced a drop in income that has caused a bit of a domino effect within my ability to pay all my expenses. By the time March came around, I was 3 months late on my mortgage, 2 months late on my car payment, and behind on all utilities (gas, electric, and water). Asking for help was scary because it meant sharing that I let myself get here.

Support from The Sistas Uprising Fund (is) monumental in helping me bring all my expenses current.

A Thank You Note

Creating "The Sistas Uprising Fund" has been a long-time dream since Claire was diagnosed with the marker for the rare blood cancer, multiple myeloma, in 2015. As you'll see at the bottom of "The Sistas Uprising Fund" page, Claire determined from a young age to create this fund because of her and her Mom, who had to fight to survive domestic violence. After Claire's diagnosis, she redetermined to create this fund to support marginalized creatives, focused initially on women survivors of trauma. Thank you for making this dream a reality and helping us expand our reach to marginalized artists. We cannot wait for the next run in Spring 2026!
