$500 — State Builder

State Builders support the foundation of Our Unique States of America: Voices and Visions at the state level — helping ensure that individual communities are represented with care, depth, and authenticity.

This tier reflects a commitment to the distinct character and voice of a specific state within the 50-book series and the broader national initiative.

Your contribution directly supports the research, writing, interviews, and publication process that brings each state’s story to life.

Your Recognition Includes:

Recognition by State
Your name will be acknowledged in association with the state you choose to support, recognizing your role in helping document and preserve its stories.

Digital Collector Edition
Receive a special digital collector edition of the state volume you support, delivered upon publication.

Project Updates
Periodic updates highlighting progress within your selected state and key milestones across the broader project.

State Builder status honors those who believe every state deserves to be seen, heard, and preserved — not just as geography, but as lived experience.

Your support strengthens the individual chapters that together form a national story.
