Support

A Remarkable Journey

From its first notes, WIN's path to realization has been as unbelievably incredible as it has been unbelievably unexpected. Defying odds, WIN continues to find its way into becoming, fueled by a growing community of allies and enthusiasts who believe in its message.

WIN is a story of accidental, humble heroes. A celebration of history, humanity, and empathy--of the power of reflection...and of seeing. It's a warm, witty reminder of what unites us.

This journey is powered by that same spirit of community. By joining in support, you're not just an observer; you become a part of the story—a partner in a shared quest to bring quiet courage and civility into the national spotlight.

A. Capital Steps

One-time gifts can provide critical boosts to the project at key moments. It helps cover essential costs from web hosting to hosting readings; from software subscriptions to securing legal rights; from meetings to marketing. We've suggested a few amounts below with special significance to the story. Though we welcome support at any amount of your choosing, amounts $38+ have the added incentive of qualifying for the First 100 Fund.

$38 (Honoring the 38th President)

• $76 (Evoking the Spirit of '76)
• $148 (Football! 100 yards of gridiron + Ford's #48)

B. The Music Commission

With nearly 30 musical numbers, bringing songs into being--from vocal recordings to lead sheets to piano vocal scores to arrangements to refining to recording to...you get the idea. It's an intensive and expensive process, even as we bootstrap and benefit from abundant generosities. To help the process along, we have developed The Music Commission, a song sponsorship campaign segmented into thematic suites. Each suite is helmed by a single Lead Sponsor, up to three Instrumental Sponsors, and additional Ensemble Sponsors starting at $250. All Music Commission sponsors also qualify for the First 100 Fund.

C. The Circle of 1974

For individuals interested in making a significant, foundational gift to propel WIN through its next full stage of professional development, we invite you to consider the Circle of 1974. Recognizing the 1974 commencement of Ford's Presidency, a leadership gift at this level provides the essential resources to fuel a multi-month period of intensive advancement, including aspects such as:

• Full orchestrations and arrangements for all musical numbers
• The development and release of a complete cast demo album
• Offering a writer's stipend, enabling the creator's full-time dedication
• Securing legal assistance for agreements, rights, and intellectual property
• Enlisting social media, design, and marketing professionals
• Organizing and executing staged readings, including, ultimately, a 29-hour Actors' Equity Association reading

In addition to financial gifts, significant in-kind contributions — such as professional services or studio facilities — may also be recognized within this circle. If you would like to have a private conversation about making a leadership gift, please reach out directly.
