What We're Building Together
A Local Directory, Built Together
Help people find the businesses, entertainers, places, and events that make our community worth exploring.
The directory is already here on Minty Tees. Our next step is a home of its own, with a dedicated website and domain people can recognize, trust, and share.
Help Build Its Next ChapterMore Connections. More Reasons to Show Up.
A business page tells people who you are. An event gives them a reason to visit. Connecting that event to its venue and entertainers helps people discover everyone involved.
Whether you run a restaurant, host karaoke, arrange a tasting, welcome a food truck, or organize a community gathering, we want to make those connections easier to find and share.
First Financial Goal
$500 Toward a Website of Its Own
Our working launch budget is approximately $500 for a dedicated domain and the initial setup of a standalone directory website, separate from Minty Tees.
Progress reflects processed, confirmed support purchases after refunds and before payment processing fees. We will update this page as purchases are processed and publish launch costs as they are finalized.
The first funds will go toward securing the new domain and setting up the independent site. We will announce the name, launch plan, and ongoing costs here. Existing business and event listings will be carried forward.

Local Businesses Can Help Build It
Choose a one-time support amount below. Every level can receive a public thank-you with your preferred business name, a link to your business or directory page, and the recognition level your support makes possible.
| One-Time Support | Recognition Level |
|---|---|
| $10 | Supporter |
| $25 | Neighborhood Supporter |
| $50 | Community Builder |
| $100 | Founding Supporter |
| $250 | Launch Partner |
| $500 | Launch Champion |
Your acknowledgment starts here. Once we receive and process your paid purchase, we manually add your public acknowledgment to this page. You do not have to wait for the independent website to launch. Our supporter list will move with the directory.
Thank You to Our Supporters
Your business could be one of our first supporters. Once we process a paid support purchase and your public acknowledgment choice, we will add your name here.
A Few Useful Details
What Does My Support Provide?
Your purchase supports the directory's development and initial independent website launch. Public acknowledgment is optional. Support does not buy ownership, a financial return, a verified business badge, or a guaranteed feature release.
Do I Have to Pay to Be Listed?
No. Basic directory listings and event inclusion are available regardless of whether a business contributes. Supporter recognition is separate from search placement.
Can I Support More Than Once?
Yes. When we can match your public acknowledgment details to the same business, we combine your confirmed support for its recognition level. Refunds reduce the amount counted.
What Happens if the Goal Takes Longer?
The directory continues operating on Minty Tees while we work toward the move. We will post progress and any changes to the launch plan here. Support above the initial goal will help with ongoing website costs and the next roadmap steps.
