The Guild in about a minute.
What the Guild is
The Antiquity Guild is a Washington unincorporated nonprofit association. Its mission, in its own words: “To end poverty in all forms.” It is built to work through local groups called Nodes, where Representatives work alongside people, groups and whole communities. One document governs it: the Living Book.
What you can do
- Join, open to all ages, for free or at a monthly level. Every level, from the free Rock to $100 a month, is symbolic: a place in the Guild’s story, not authority or a binding vote. Join the Guild
- Give once. A one-time gift supports the work and does not change a membership. Gifts and dues are not tax-deductible. Make a gift
- Get help. The Help page shows where to turn today. In an emergency, call 911; for crisis support, call or text 988.
- Find community resources. The Floor is the Guild’s registry of community resources near you, such as food, shelter and health services that already exist. Each listing says how and when it was checked. See community resources
- Become a Representative. Representatives carry the Guild’s work in their own communities, as paid employment. The Guild is not hiring yet, but you can join the waiting list. Serve as a Representative
What the Transparency page shows
The Transparency page keeps the Guild’s money in the open: how new money is split four ways (running costs, a protected reserve, aid and pay) and the balance of each, how many members there are at each level (never names), and how many concerns are open.
