Ten Thousand Hands

Welcome to Ten Thousand Hands.

Each hand you see on the world represents one person lending PLACE a hand by making a small monthly contribution. PLACE’s goal is to raise Ten Thousand Hands (10,000 people and organizations from across the world who will contribute just $10 per month, or an amount of your choice) to support our next sustainable community.

Let’s build a better world, one hand at a time.

What is Ten Thousand Hands?

Ten Thousand Hands is a social network of people working to create a sustainable, just, and inspiring world.

PLACE's goal is to raise 10,000 hands around the world. Imagine 10,000 people around the world all chipping in with their small donations and big ideas.

If you will help us reach our goal of raising 10,000 hands, we will have the money and the brain power to create our next sustainable arts community. Will you lend us a hand?

How can I be a part of it?

It's easy and fun to become a part of Ten Thousand Hands.

To sponsor our next sustainable arts community, make a small, monthly contribution (it will appear on your credit card each month). PLACE's goal is to raise 10,000 hands.

But that's not all. We're looking for your best ideas for our new communities; micro-transit, alternative energy, new building systems, ways to grow food, provide health care–you get the idea.

Please lend us a hand. We can make a huge difference together.
