Fund the Campaign
Help me build this.
You're seeing this because I think you could help build something real for District 8. Not with a yard sign — with a room full of people and a reason to show up.
Choose your format
I'm interested in hosting for Darshini.
| A hangout | An evening | A salon | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vibe | Come as you are | Intentional, warm | Curated experience |
| Host energy | “Pull up” | “You're invited” | “I made something” |
| Crowd | 15+ people | 15+ people | Your call |
| Suggested giving | $8 / $32 / $128 | $100 / $250 / $500 | Flexible |
| The ask | Chip in | Contribute | Experience + give |
| My role | I show up, Q&A | I speak, Q&A | I'm a guest in your world |
Low-key. High-impact.
Your place, your people, your playlist. Invite 15 or more friends, neighbors, coworkers — whoever you'd text on a Friday. BYOB. Snacks optional but encouraged.
I show up, talk for 15 minutes about why I'm running, then it's all Q&A. Honest conversation, no stump speech. The whole thing takes about 90 minutes.
Suggested giving
- $8— Eight bucks for D8. Covers printed materials for your block.
- $32— Covers a round of campaign mailers to your block.
- $128— Funds a full weekend of canvassing in your neighborhood.
Nobody's checking receipts. Some people give $8, some give more. Every dollar helps and every person in the room matters more than the amount.
What we handle
- Campaign materials and signage
- A sample invite you can text or email (if helpful)
- Coordination on timing and logistics
- Follow-up thank-yous to every guest
Intentional. Generous. Yours.
You invite 15 or more people, pick the space, and set the tone. I'll speak for 20 minutes, then answer as many questions as time and format allow. The best ones turn into real conversation, which is ultimately what all this is about.
Suggested contribution levels
- $100— Supporter
- $250— Champion
- $500— Builder
These are suggestions, not gates. Every guest gives what feels right. The host sets the tone by sharing the suggested levels with the invite.
What we handle
- Printed materials and campaign collateral
- A digital invite template if you want one
- Run-of-show guidance if it's helpful
- Personal follow-up with every attendee afterward
You set the vibe. I show up.
This one's different. You don't just open your door, you bring your thing. A listening party. A rooftop sunset session. A supper club. A living room reading. A screening. A workshop. Whatever you're already known for.
You bring the crew. I bring the conversation. I'm not the headliner — I'm a guest in your world. I'll weave in the campaign where it fits and stay for every question after.
No format. No script. No minimum headcount. Just your thing, plus a candidate who'll actually show up and participate.
Giving
Totally flexible. Set a suggested contribution, pass a hat, build it into a ticket price, whatever fits the experience you're creating. We'll help you figure out what makes sense.
What we handle
- Whatever you need from us — every salon is different
- Help shaping the format if you want it
- Campaign materials that match the vibe (not a folding table with pamphlets)
- Coordination, promotion to our list if you want it, follow-up
Let's make it happen.
