HOW FUNDING WORKS:
Spark My Muse costs hundreds of dollars out-of-pocket each month to create, produce, and host online. Spark My Muse listeners are high-quality, happy to give, and superior to typical audiences–giving at a rate triple to the 2-3% of normal audiences.
Thank you for ANY amount, even $5 or $10, you can give, today.
