This page lists the ways you can support Con or Bust: spread the word; participate in the auction; donate money; donate con memberships or other non-monetary support; or buy a T-shirt.

Spread the Word

The simplest thing you can do to support Con or Bust is to tell people that it exists, that it helps fans of color/non-white fans attend SFF cons, and that it’s funded solely through donations and its annual online auction. Links to the about page are terrific.

Participate in the Auction

If it’s January or February, you can participate in the annual online auction by submitting something to be auctioned or by bidding.

Donate Money

At any time, you can donate money, either as a simple donation or to pay for an auction item. You can use either a credit card or a PayPal account:

On the “review your donation” screen, please click “Add special instructions to the seller” and indicate whether this is a donation or payment for an auction item. If it’s an auction item, also specify the seller & item.

Donate Con Memberships etc.

And at any time, you can donate con memberships or other non-monetary support, either as an individual or on behalf of a con. Please email knepveu@steelypips.org.

Buy a T-Shirt

Finally, you can buy a T-shirt by mail. Shirts are $20 each; shipping for one within the U.S. is $3 (please email me to arrange shipping elsewhere or shipping of more than one shirt). Please be sure to note the size, color, and any mailing instructions in the “Add special instructions to the seller” field in PayPal.

Crew-neck shirts are available in red or green (“forest”), in sizes S-3XL (size information):

V-neck fitted T-shirts are available in purple in sizes M-2XL (size information):

Donations to Con or Bust are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law, because the Carl Brandon Society, which is Con or Bust’s financial agent, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
