Support the work

Some experiences should stay human. Help us preserve them.

Three ways to support the T.Skies Artist Co-Op: donate money, donate jewelry from your collection, or join our Inner Circle as a monthly member. All gifts are tax-deductible — we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Donate

The T.Skies Artist Co-Op is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit. Every donation is tax-deductible. EIN available on receipt.

Why your support matters

The Co-Op runs lean — most of our budget goes directly to KITA scholars, paid interns, and the working studio that keeps human-made craft alive. Every dollar you give protects authentic Native American and Southwestern silversmithing from the forces eroding it: automation, mass production, dishonest materials, foreign replicas passing as authentic.

$500 covers one month of a KITA student's tuition + materials.
$5,000 sponsors a Native silversmithing student's full scholarship year.
$25,000 endows next year's scholarship and protects the program for the future.

Donate money

The simplest way to support the work. Use the form below or use our recurring monthly giving option to multiply your impact over time. Designate to KITA, Internships, or General Operations — your choice.

(Donation form integration coming soon — for now, please email donate@tskiescoop.com or call us at the gallery to arrange.)

Donate jewelry

Pieces from your collection can be donated to the Co-Op, where they become Live Show auction lots or move through our partner gallery T.Skies — with all proceeds returning to the Co-Op.

What we accept: handmade Native American and Southwestern jewelry. Artist-attributed preferred. Vintage pieces especially welcomed.

How it works: Drop off in person at the T.Skies Gallery on Menaul Boulevard, or arrange a mail-in. We'll appraise the piece at fair-market-value and provide you with a tax-deductible donation receipt for that amount.

(Jewelry donation page coming soon — for now, please email donate@tskiescoop.com to start the conversation.)
