fat cash
Many of you have asked how you can support Matter of Fat so we’ve created a Venmo so you can send us some fat cash!
Matter of Fat has been a self-funded project and very much a labor of love for Cat, Saraya, and the MoF Assistants. We’ve been so humbled by those who have asked us, through the years, if they could help support this project financially. So, we finally listened! Now you can send “tips” or one-time gifts to MoF. And, we’re calling it fat cash… because of course we are! Find us on Venmo under @MatterOfFatPod or click here.
However big or small, your financial support can help us pay for (or reimburse for) time and expenses. You could help fund our annual website renewal fee! You could allow us to compensate our assistants a bit better! You could help us make up for the investments we’ve already made into MoF! And, of course, no pressure or obligation. Your support means the world to us - however you’re able to show it!
Interested in the time + expenses involved in producing Matter of Fat?
Here’s a breakdown:
Our team of 5 is putting in 20-50 hours of work each week to bring you Matter of Fat’s podcast and community! Cat and Saraya each put in 8-15 hours a week. Assistants contribute 2-6 hours a week each.
Regular/annual costs include podcast hosting through Soundcloud, website hosting through Squarespace, and transcription help through Descript. These costs are about $500/yr. Equipment, start up expenses, and ongoing expenses - which include microphones and accessories, editing software, logo design costs, stickers, studio parking for seasons 1-2, and modest assistant stipends - have been about an $1300 investment shared by Cat and Saraya.
Occasionally, Matter of Fat will have paid sponsors. If you’d like to learn more, please contact us. Additionally, Cat and Saraya also present workshops on body positivity, fatphobia, and fat liberation. (Currently virtually only.) To book Cat and Saraya, please contact us here through our website or at matteroffatpod@gmail.com.
