Fund your vision
Underwrite a complete issue of Possibilia Magazine.
Pick the futures you want to see come to life. Choose the concepts for ten short stories, the scientific fields and technological innovations to explore, and the direction of the artwork commissioned around them. If you’d like to underwrite a full issue, we’d love to start a conversation.
Named initiatives
Sponsor a specific program.
Sponsorship, in development
The OURS exhibition.
OURS pairs speculative artwork with the science and engineering that could bring it into being — a curated, traveling show. We’re opening sponsorship for the inaugural run.
Sponsorship, in development
The Industrial Garden.
Industrial Garden is the foundation’s proposed maker space in New York City — a community workspace and a self-sustaining model for small creators and hard-tech founders. Sponsorship opens as we move from proposal to exhibit.
Give
Every gift welcome.
Artists imagine a future worth having. Scientists discover how it’s possible. Technologists build the pieces. Right now those three pull in different directions — art toward dystopia, tech toward power, science toward whatever’s fundable. FFA funds the version where they pull together, aligned toward human flourishing.
Today: Possibilia stories, OURS exhibitions, the Industrial Garden initiative. Next: granting programs for the artists, scientists, and technologists building futures of their own. Every gift, no matter the size, moves the work forward — and we’ll write back personally.
Other ways
Or give another way.
Donor-advised funds
We accept grants from DAFs at Fidelity Charitable, Schwab, Vanguard, and other sponsoring organizations. to recommend a grant.
Stock & crypto
Appreciated stock and cryptocurrency are often more tax-efficient than cash. Send stock via every.org, or set up a continuous on-chain stream via Sablier or Superfluid.
Workplace matching
Many employers match employee gifts to 501(c)(3)s, often 1:1 or 2:1. We qualify on the major matching platforms (Benevity, YourCause, Bright Funds), so a few minutes on your company portal can double or triple your contribution.
For any of these, start with a note via our contact form and we’ll route you to the right place.
