How Your $12 Supports the Arkivium
A flat $12 — all taxes and fees included. Every remaining dollar is divided with intention to sustain and grow the Arkivium.

$1.06 — Required Taxes
Collected and remitted according to Nashville, TN’s 9.75% combined sales tax rate.

$0.36 — Merchant Processing Fees
Card processing and transaction handling.

$0.58 — Postage & Delivery Fund
Reserved to help send physical fragments, letters, and artifacts.

Why is this amount small?
Because the Arkivium intentionally absorbs the higher shipping costs. Members should never pay extra to receive something meant to connect, comfort, or inspire. Mailings are part of the mission — not an added charge.

$3.00 — Core Support (Fixed Allocation)
Server hosting, storage, software licensing, compliance, administrative operations, and the foundational creative work that keeps the Arkivium alive.

$7.00 — Your Chosen Path
You choose where this portion strengthens the Arkivium:

• Story & Record — This path sustains all writings born within the Arkivium — the sagas, the fragments, and the living memory they guard.
• Artifact & Craft — This path sustains all acts of making — physical, digital, or symbolic — each a vessel for what endures.
• Comunity & Growth — To choose this path is to help the Arkivium grow — through fellowship, creative collaboration, and compassion made visible.
• Sanctuary Fund — To choose this path is to help the Arkivium become a sanctuary — not just of words, but of lives.
