Relief Fund for Hideout Staff
Donation protected
12/12/22: Thank you to all the donors for supporting this campaign. We wanted to inform everyone that the Hideout will be paying its current staff some compensation through the end of the year. All of the contributions from this fundraiser will go to further support the staff during the holiday season and hopefully provide some financial cushioning during a time of uncertainty.

Calling all friends of the Hideout…..
As artists, patrons, and community members, we wholeheartedly support past and present Hideout staff. We support the suspension of programming at the Hideout in order to meaningfully address the harm that has happened there.
However, this comes at the expense of the financial security of the staff.
We believe that the Hideout must go through a substantial process of transformation if it is to become a truly safe, inclusive, and welcoming place. In the meantime, this GoFundMe campaign will create a channel of financial and community support for the staff who have lost their income through the rest of the year.
Let’s help the Hideout staff make it through December!
