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

(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.)
