With Gratitude
The Real Story exists because of the generosity of people who believe in the power of storytelling to build connection, shift culture, and tend the collective.
We are deeply grateful to every donor and sponsor who is helping to bring this vision to life — from our earliest champions to those just joining us. Your support makes space for real people to share real stories, and ensures that our work remains community-rooted, accessible, and grounded in care.
Thank you for believing in this project, in each other, and in the stories that hold us all.
