The Friends of PrivatePrint Fund aims to establish a dedicated financial resource to support the printing and production operations of PrivatePrint publishing. This community of supporters is crucial due to the significant economic disparity between the high costs of printing services, above all, and the modest revenue generated from the sale of the final printed books. This is especially true for books like ours, which experiment with both the form and content of the book. Additionally, there is a notable shortage of grants and sponsors willing to finance book projects, which would cover the necessary production costs (printing and prepress, proofreading and copy editing). These financial challenges are a major hurdle for small independent publishers, threatening their survival and limiting their ability to contribute to and enrich the cultural landscape. By creating this community of supporters, we seek to help these financial pressures, ensuring that PrivatePrint can continue to produce and disseminate diverse and impactful books.

Moreover, the Friends of PrivatePrint Fund aims to do more than just provide financial support. It seeks to create a community of like-minded individuals who share our values of democratizing culture and building cultural infrastructures. Together, we can amplify the voices of artists and cultural workers, especially those working on socially pressing topics that struggle to find support and space for expression.
