Flights of Foundry @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Let's talk $$$ We spent 3x on the convention this year. Last year's convention raised more than $17k. This year? We're sitting at $13.5k. That sounds like a lot, but friends, we TRIPLED how much we spent on the event. And we've made a LOT less. Help us out? flights-of-foundry.org/donate/
A graphic with a teal background. The Flights of Foundry logo is prominent in the middle, with the word DONATE beneath. The text is surrounded by gryphons - Hoodini, a barn owl gryphon walks along the top of the logo; Toast, a white cockatiel gyrphon sits up straight on the right side of the logo; Bartholomew, a purple harpy eagle gryphon stretches on the bottom, and Swooperton, a bald eagle gryphon is swooping up in the bottom corner.
