The Kindred Fund - FOLKLIFE
For the kindred spirits. The quiet supporters. The believers in independent storytelling and intentional living.
FOLKLIFE is made by Canadian independent writers, photographers, editors, designers, publishers, and makers, with heart. We're a small, woman-owned independent media company sharing stories in print and online that celebrate living slowly—close to the earth, with intention, and creativity, with a goal to slow the folk down.
If you’ve felt inspired by what we do, this is your chance to help us keep going—no strings attached. We’re supported by a small group of advertising partners, and we opt out of overselling space.
This is not a magazine subscription. It's a simple way to support indie publishing and say, “keep it up.”
Your generous contribution may help fund the next volume, or give a surprise magazine to someone who needs a little magic. Your support goes directly toward keeping FOLKLIFE alive and thriving.
It’s a quiet way to say you believe in what we do.

Slow the folk down
Collect moments.
FOLKLIFE Magazine isn’t made to be flipped through and forgotten in airplane seat back pocket. It’s meant to be revisited. Shared with guests, savoured over tea, or saved for a slow Sunday morning.
