We are offering these resources for free, but they are not free to produce. We are prioritizing a portion of our reserve funds to pay artists who are working on these projects from home. You can support our artists by making a tax-deductible donation to Spellbound, 100% of which will go directly to the people working behind the scenes (and on Zoom screens) to create these new resources for our new world.
