Not a drill. To keep our current scholarship model, we need your help.


Since launching our scholarship program in 2022, Wicked Grounds has awarded over 600 scholarship seats to our classes and workshops.

We will find a way to keep doing this, but we're facing a potentially radical restructuring of the program.

Up to this point, we've had earmarked seats available to award new requests for seats, no questions asked. We've never yet turned down a scholarship seat request.

We're starting to give out scholarships that haven't been funded yet, in part because I haven't reached out to the community with a scholarship-focused fundraiser since last fall. Needless to say, this isn't sustainable.

We will be able to give away some scholarship seats each month; some of our Patreon subscribers have earmarked their contributions to the fund. However, we won't be able to keep giving out all the scholarships that are requested without topping up the funds, and many requests will need to be turned down.

I want to make a large, multi-seat contribution!

Thank you! Be sure to note your contribution is for the scholarship fund:

Howdy kinksters - Dan Savage is not a perfect commentator, but he had one of the best descriptions of keeping balance in challenging political times that I’ve ever read. He said: “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn’t look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn’t feel like we’re going to win now...

Howdy kinksters - I hope that this week is finding you as much as possible in your full power: resilient, fierce, and fully here for yourself and those you love.
