We are constantly looking toward the future—with the issues we write about, the recipes we develop, or the ways we continue to interact and grow with our community. Sustainability is at the very core of Grounded Grub, and as we continue to carry out our mission of promoting sustainable eating practices, investigating the intricacies of our food system, amplifying the voices of food and social justice leaders, and fostering a dialogue with our community, we need to do so in a way that is sustainable for Grounded Grub as well. 

So, we are rolling out a Patreon! This platform is intended to allow individuals who would like to support Grounded Grub to do so in an easy way. The primary mission of this Patreon account is not only to fund the expenses of daily operations (website fees, email campaigns, etc.), but to allow us to compensate our incredible contributors for the time and energy they put into their work. Collaboration is at the core of what we do, and our contributors have and will continue to be our greatest asset.

If you’re interested in donating to the growth and longevity of Grounded Grub and our amazing community, we encourage you to check it out! We know it is currently a very hard time for everyone and committing to any kind of monthly donation feels daunting. We’ll be keeping our content open to everyone and we hope you’ll continue to engage and support whenever you can. On the page we have a variety of support tiers (donations come with perks!) and if you would like a detailed look at exactly how we intend to allocate every dollar we receive, DM us and we’ll happily share our whole detailed plan with you! Additionally, if you have any comments, questions, or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
