BRATTLEBORO — The Future Collective launched their online fundraiser on June 25, 2014 through the website IndieGoGo. The link to their online fundraiser is igg.me/at/FUNDTHEFUTURE/x.
The Future Collective is a nonprofit, volunteer-run group of Brattleboro young people founded in January 2012.
They have hosted many events ranging from all-ages music shows, community art openings, a weekly radio show, dance parties, ice cream giveaways, outdoor cabarets, child art and music making, outdoor adventures, peer-supported mental health workshops, community art nights, collaboration with other local organizations, and their annual three-day music and arts festival, Future Fest.
This past January, The Future Collective started renting an art studio in downtown Brattleboro. Having a consistent space opened up many possibilities for the young organization and, since then, they have been working nonstop: holding multiple events per week and managing the finances of a consistent space.
They are hoping to make a year's worth of rent for their space at 17 Elliot St., so that they can focus more on throwing more awesome, financially accessible events.
