Answers to our Frequently Asked Questions!
Why are you moving?
We love our current location and are incredibly grateful for everything it has allowed us to build. However, we've outgrown the space in several ways. Our workshop room is narrow, parking is limited, and because we're tucked away, many people don't even know we're here.
Our goal is to find a permanent home where Creative Chaos can continue to grow and offer even more workshops, events, experiences, and community opportunities.
What is the vision for the Future of Creative Chaos?
The Future of Creative Chaos is our vision for the next chapter of Cain's Creative Chaos.
While the exact property hasn't been found yet, our goal is to create a destination where people can create, learn, celebrate, relax, and connect through art. We're dreaming of larger workshop spaces, outdoor creative areas, community events, and room to continue expanding our programs and creative offerings.
What happens if I contribute and you don't secure a property?
If we are unable to secure a property, all Founding Member contributions will be refunded in full. Your contribution will never be used for anything outside of this project.
How will the money be used?
All Founding Member contributions will be placed into a dedicated savings account and reserved specifically for the future growth of Cain's Creative Chaos.
Funds may be used for expenses directly related to purchasing, developing, renovating, or preparing our future location, including things such as a down payment, inspections, closing costs, renovations, equipment, moving expenses, or other project-related costs.
Funds will never be used for personal expenses.
Is my contribution tax deductible?
No.
Cain's Creative Chaos is a for-profit business, so Founding Member contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations.
However, your contribution includes exclusive Founding Member benefits, experiences, recognition, and rewards based on the level you choose. Rather than simply making a donation, you're helping build the future of Creative Chaos while becoming part of its story from the very beginning.
Instead of receiving a tax deduction, you'll receive something we hope is even more meaningful—a chance to help create a place that will inspire creativity, bring people together, and serve our community for years to come. Every Founding Member will always be able to say, "I helped build this."
When will I receive my rewards?
Many rewards—such as workshops, Chaos Room sessions, Preview Night invitations, discounts, and special events—will become available after we open our new location.
Digital rewards, certificates, and campaign updates may be provided much sooner.
Can I upgrade my Founding Member level later?
Absolutely!
If you've already become a Founding Member, you can upgrade your level at any time by contributing the difference between your current level and the new level.
For example, if you begin at the $50 level and later decide to become a Founding 100 Member, we'll apply your original $50 toward your new contribution.
Can businesses become Founding Members?
Yes!
Businesses are welcome to participate. We also offer sponsorship opportunities for organizations that would like to support Creative Chaos while receiving recognition for helping make our vision possible.
If you're interested in discussing a custom sponsorship or partnership, we'd love to hear from you.
Can I help if I can't contribute financially?
Absolutely!
There are many ways to support the future of Creative Chaos, including:
How will I know what's happening along the way?
Founding Members will receive exclusive email updates throughout the journey, including property tours, fundraising milestones, concept ideas, major announcements, and behind-the-scenes progress.
Everyone is also invited to follow along on our Follow Our Journey page for the latest updates.
Can I suggest ideas for the new location?
Absolutely!
Creative Chaos has always been built with our community in mind, and we'd love to hear your ideas. While we can't promise every suggestion will become reality, we welcome feedback and inspiration as we continue planning our future home.
Is there a deadline for becoming a Founding Member?
Founding Memberships will remain available until the campaign ends or until each level reaches its capacity, if applicable.
The Founding 100 level is limited to the first 100 supporters who contribute $500 or more. Once all 100 spots have been claimed, that level will close permanently.
If you've been thinking about becoming one of our Founding Members, we encourage you to join early so you don't miss out on the opportunity to be part of Creative Chaos history.
Can I make monthly payments toward a Founding Member level?
Yes!
If you'd like to spread your contribution out over time, we'd be happy to work with you. As long as your selected Founding Member level is still available, you can make payments toward your goal and receive your rewards once that level has been paid in full.
For example, if you'd like to become a Founding 100 Member but prefer not to contribute the full amount at once, we can work with you on a payment plan. Contact Melissa for more information about reserving your Founding Member level.
