Help Us Finish Building The Temple!

7/27/2015

 
We're almost there on the Temple! We've made huge strides in getting towards our financial goal thanks to help from many of you - Burn.Life was the biggest source of traffic for the recent successful Indiegogo campaign, and we're within $40k of our goal now! 
We've got final crowdfunding campaign for this year's Temple. Help us get it done! This one is to finish paying for the three large metal Trees that will sit in the courtyard of the Temple.
Donate to the Temple of Promise!

One of the final and biggest arches of this year's Temple. Awesome, right? Help us finish it!
Burners will write messages on strips of cloth and afix them to the trees, where they'll be immolated when the Temple burns. The Trees, however, will survive, making them the first art to ever come back from a Temple burn.
We're only about $40k away from completing all fundraising for the Temple. Help us get over the final hump! 
(And remember, whether you agree or not, the Burning Man organization contributed only 25% of the cost and it's up to us - Burners - to fund the rest, just like it's up to us to get it built.)
The Temple only happens because the community makes it happen.
Give back to the playa, and help us!
Donate to the Temple of PRomise!

Two more notes:
  1.  if you're a Burner-of-means who might be interested in making a donation of $10k or greater, we'd be happy to let you choose the final resting place (private or public) for one of the Trees. They're the first art that has ever come back from the Temple burn in its history. Please contact matt@templeofpromise.org to arrange it, and note that it's also tax-deductible, unlike Kickstarter.

  2. If you'd like to make a tax-deductible gift as an individual or camp of at least $1000 and forgo the Kickstarter rewards, you can do it at http://templeofpromise.org.
