<div><strong>Rather than starting a brand new GoFundMe for 2026, we are adding to our goal for the 2025 fundraiser,</strong> which finally met its goal in early 2026. Several contributors added a monthly contribution, so it's easiest to just stick with it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every $10 allows us to grant one scholarship seat while keeping our classes sustainable for Wicked Grounds and our instructors. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We currently need at least $4000 to keep up with requests</strong>, despite us adding somewhat more stringent scholarship requirements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Who are we? Wicked Grounds helps kinksters everywhere -- at every stage of their kink journey -- find the next step on their personal path.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We offer a wide range of online classes and in-person classes, ranging from 90-minute courses to deep multiweek intensives. We also offer a range of digital downloads to help with kink self-discovery and transformation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you to all of our supporters for your ongoing support! We truly couldn't do this without you!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are two major ways that you can support us and help the scholarship fund. One is to give here. Another is to join our <a href="https://Patreon.com/WickedGrounds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support here will go directly toward filling up our scholarship fund, which remains slightly underfunded due to challenges across the economy in 2025. Your support will allow us to keep offering scholarship seats for our live and online classes, as well as discounted seats for our multi-week courses. Thank you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"I want to thank you for your generosity in including a volunteer option for those of us who are financially challenged at the moment. For context, I’m brand new to the kink world and am trying to educate myself before plunging in for many reasons, not least because I don’t want to harm myself and/or others. So thank you for making these resources available to those who are floundering in more ways than one. I hope to be able to financially support Wicked Grounds once I’ve found my footing, and will look for other ways to contribute in the meantime." </em>- a recent scholarship recipient
