The Unplugged Collective
Partnership

Main Street, Hand-in-Hand.

We have a strict "No Corporate Sponsors" policy. We don't sell brand visibility, and we don't let tech corporations monetize our peace. Instead, we partner exclusively with local, independent small businesses in the Bay Area. We believe that small businesses are the bedrock of local culture—and right now, we need to protect each other. Here is how local shops, bakeries, and creators can co-conspire with us to keep our community tables free and alive.

The Gathering Contributor
In-Kind Goods or $250

Provide the raw physical ingredients (coffee beans, sourdough, fresh fruit, art supplies) for a neighborhood gathering.

What comes back to you

A simple, elegant, handwritten thank-you card placed on our physical check-in table directing our participants back to your storefront.

The Sanctuary Host
Physical Space or $1,000

Open your shop, backyard, patio, or studio to host an official screen-free gathering during off-hours, or underwrite a public park chapter permit.

What comes back to you

Featured as an official 'Community Sanctuary' in our plain-text neighbor emails and on our Threads, driving intentional, loyal foot traffic to your business.

The Civic Anchor
$2,500

Underwrite our operational basics (volunteer tools, community insurance) to keep our grassroots structure moving safely.

What comes back to you

A dedicated story feature on our website highlighting your business's commitment to protecting the human fabric of the Bay Area.

Custom partnerships welcome.

No money on the table? That's welcome too. Host a night, donate a table's worth of ingredients, lend us your back yard, or teach a skill you already have. Tell us what your shop can give and we'll build the partnership around it.
