When I Grow Up, I Want to Be......

Donation protected
I’m a sexagenarian. The growing up thing is obviously not going to happen at this point. Meanwhile, I do have a dream of how I’d like to finish out my career. I’m asking for your help to achieve this goal.

After 40 years in advertising, I’m ready to move on. I want to spend my final phase doing good for the world. My new tact is to focus exclusively on Nonprofits and Arts organizations. I’m calling this venture Arts & Copy.

The last few years have been challenging, to say the least. I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say, I’m fortunate to be here. I’m not seeking sympathy. Just some temporary assistance while I look for a full-time J-O-B in these sectors, or at least build a sustainable freelance client base – whichever happens first.

Please understand, this is NOT a donation. I plan to pay this money back unless you request otherwise.

• I’m asking for temporary and permanent donations.
• What’s the catch? It’s interest-free.
• The other catch? It will take two years to repay.
• On September 1, 2025 & 2026, you will receive 50% back.
• Donations received after March 1, 2025 will receive 50% on March 1, 2026 & 2027.
• If you'd like to donate less than $100, it will be considered a permanent donation.
• If you’d like all of your donation to be permanent, that would be amazing.

So that’s where I am. I will be funding this transition period through your donations, whether temporary or permanent.

If you choose to participate, thank you.
If not, I respect that. Either way, feel free to share.

Please message me if you’d like your donation to be permanent. Otherwise, it will be considered a loan.

Most gratefully,

Robert
