Opportunities

While we wait for more artists to get on board with Purchase Progress, there are still plenty of ways to make the world a better place. Being a fun and web-based game that makes a donation to feed the hungry with every answer you get right, Free Rice is a great place to start!

Also, let's not forget about the ongoing occupation to take back our country from the corrupt and greedy 1%. Click on the picture below to join me in the peaceful protest!

About/Mission

The world needs your help. Are you up to the challenge?

Purchase Progress was created by E.S. Wynn, chief editor of Thunderune Publishing and author of over thirty published books, as a place where individuals with a few bucks and a desire to make progressive change in the world can buy from artists willing to make those changes. Take a look around, see what some of our artists have pledged to do to make the world a better place and drop a few dollars on quality, independent art knowing it will manifest as progress toward a world we can all enjoy equally.

Spread the word! We might not always have the time to change the world, but we can always Purchase Progress.

If, for some reason, your application is rejected or never received, don't worry-- your donation will be refunded. (make sure to send your application from the same email as your paypal address or make a note in the paypal donation stating the name of the artist it is for so things don't get mixed up!)

Where To Buy: (website link(s) required. This can be your own personal website, your store on Etsy, Ebay, DeviantArt, Kindle or any other website where you actively sell your art.)

Results: (There is no need to fill this out now, but if you reach a pledge target, your audience is going to expect you to follow through! Send statements, pictures, or anything else relevant to you keeping your promise to the people to the submission email with the word "AFFIRMATIONS" in the subject line. It will be placed on the site in the Affirmations section as soon as possible!)
