Support BES.

We use the platform Fundrazr to accept donations. When you click the link, you’re able to make one-time or recurring donations. (Reach out to us if you’d like to do more!)

This is also the place where you can make a donation in order to receive the special-edition merch you see below!


Each year we commission a black artist to design “merch” that you can receive as a gift for donation to BES. This year, we invited the illustrator and textile designer Diana Ejaita to create the 2025-2026 round of merch.

You can receive the items as a gift for your donation. They are priced so that your donation covers the cost of production (ranging from ~$35-$55) and the extra goes straight to BES. More details on each item, including cost breakdown, can be found when you donate!

The 2024-2025 edition was designed by sidony o’neal was gone in a flash. Jump on Ejaita’s merch while you can!
