Three ways to help support FRUITBOWL

FRUITBOWL is currently produced independently without financial sponsors, advertising revenue or corporate media support. Every interview is recorded in-person, on location in each interviewee’s home and production expenses including travel, accommodations, equipment rental, editing and post-production are all paid for out of pocket.

Eventually, I would like to dedicate myself to producing FRUITBOWL full time but, in order to do that, I either have to win the lottery or find other ways to pay for it. Please consider making a donation towards the production of more episodes of FRUITBOWL. Here are just a few ways you can help!

Monthly Patreon Donations

Help support FRUITBOWL’s mission of documenting and sharing personal stories about queer coming of age by becoming a patron through the Patreon crowd-funding platform! A minimum $5 monthly donation allows patrons early access to episodes, behind the scenes updates and exclusive video content that is not available to the general public. Join Dave as he produces the FRUITBOWL interviews, podcast episodes and documentary film! Learn more about how to become a patron at: https://www.patreon.com/fruitbowlpodcast

Tax Deductible Donations

One-time donations are 100% tax deductible through a partnership with Northwest Film Forum’s fiscal sponsorship program. FRUITBOWL RECEIVES NO DIRECT FUNDING FROM NWFF, only the use of their non-profit status to receive tax deductible donations.

Episode Sponsorships

Do you have a business or product that you think FRUITBOWL’s audience would like to know about? Underwriting & advertising rate sheets are available for sponsors as well as production support. Sponsor segments are presented in an “NPR-like” underwriter format and all contributions are tax deductible.
