Goal
Thanks so much for your support of the Wild Fig Books and Coffee Shop and willingness to help us transition into a worker cooperative. We are raising initial funds to cover the cost of purchasing the intellectual property and the existing inventory as well as open the store back up in November 2018. With help from cash donations and a loan from a supporter, we were able to purchase the business from the previous owners, but we now need support to open the store and pay back the loan. We are raising $25,000 in this initial fundraising effort. Please give a one-time gift or recurring gift for up to 3 years.
We greatly appreciate all of our supporters for your willingness to keep this sacred space in our neighborhood alive.
