what your membership does

WHY IT MATTERS

Artists get paid. Every time.

Every performance in our season comes with a check. We don't ask artists to work for exposure. Your membership is part of how we keep that promise.

Space without apology.

The Artist Membership Program gives Durham creatives access to professional studio and rehearsal space little to no cost. Members help underwrite that access.

A building that stays standing

This 1891 landmark has survived displacement and decades of change. Members keep it rooted and moving forward.

NOT READY TO COMMIT MONTHLY?

A one-time gift goes just as far.

Not every act of support looks the same. If you want to give once, give now, and give from the heart then this is the door. Every dollar supports Black artists, preserves this landmark, and keeps Hayti standing for the next generation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Can I cancel anytime?

    Yes. No contracts, no penalties. We'd rather earn your continued membership than lock you into it.

  • Is my membership tax-deductible?

    St. Joseph's Historic Foundation is a registered 501(c)3. The portion of your membership that exceeds the fair market value of member benefits may be tax-deductible. Tax ID: 56-1152267

  • What does $19.75 mean?

    1975 is the year the St. Joseph's Historic Foundation was establised by community members who refused to let this building, and everything it represented, disappear. This membership program is a tribute to that decision.

  • Can I give a membership as a gift?

    Absolutely! Reach out to us at info@hayti.org and we'll take care of you.

  • How do invite-only experiences work?

    Advocate and Patron members enter a curated pool for intimate events. Selection is based on relationship and alignment, not just giving level. The longer you're with us, the more likely you are to be in the room.
