Tom Tamayo Young
I’m a proud co-founder of Vital Little Plans, an artist giving circle, and Flannel & Blade, a queer-owned communications shop for good.
I first learned about the world of philanthropy through my work with ArtPlace America, and since then, I’ve been working with nonprofits, foundations, and artists to advocate for more unrestricted funding towards individuals and community organizations.
With many, many incredible people surrounding me,
I proudly produced, edited, and narrated
this love letter to radical giving.
