David once said, “we are all, and have always been, projects of mutual creation.” Contributing to the work of the David Graeber Institute means giving your time, energy and resources because you believe these ideas matter. We’re here to build alternatives, support one another, create space for care, imagination, and solidarity — and to explore better ways of being together.
There are several ways to help us and support our work:
- Volunteer with the DGI, Museum of Care, Anthropology for Kids or the David Graeber Archive;
- Support our work by making a donation;
- Host an event together with the DGI.
