Support Quockerwodger Media
Quockerwodger Media is independent and ad-free. Nobody pays us for coverage, there's no paywall, and there never will be: the shows, the galleries, and the venue directory stay free for everyone in the scene. That independence has a cost, and reader support is how we cover it. If the site has helped you find a show, remember a night, or get your band's photos, chipping in is how you help us keep covering the scene.
What your support funds
We'd rather be specific than vague. Donations go toward the real costs of running an independent community outlet:
- Hosting and infrastructure: the servers, storage, and bandwidth that keep the site and the photo archive online.
- Resources: the gear that live-music coverage burns through, and taking on new projects like interviews and scene research.
- Occasional contributor honoraria: when we can, putting something in the pockets of the photographers and writers who document the scene.
Chip in
One-time, any amount, handled by Ko-fi. It all helps.
Support us on Ko-fiDonations are handled entirely by Ko-fi, a hosted platform. We never see or store your card details, and we don't keep donor data on this site.
The fine print
We're not a charity. Quockerwodger Media is not a registered charity or nonprofit, so donations are not tax-deductible and no tax receipt is issued. A donation is a straightforward "keep going", nothing more complicated than that.
Looking to sponsor instead? Reader donations are individual and come with no perks or influence over coverage. If you're a business or venue interested in sponsorship, that's a separate conversation. Email Contact@quockerwodger.ca and we'll talk.
Either way, our coverage is not for sale. How we stay independent is spelled out on our standards page.
