Apply
We're invite only and picky about who we work with. Tell us about your work, and if it's a fit we'll walk you through your fan club on a short call.
We build your fan club
We design it, set it up, launch it and bring the fans in. You make a few short videos so fans know it's really you.
Fans join, donate and tip
100% of every donation and tip goes to you. No cost to you, ever.
Fan clubs we've built
From the voice of Siri to the creator of Doom, fans showed up for the people behind the work they love.
What creators say
"You guys did what Apple would not do. Congratulations to you for being the good guys."
"Thank you to everyone in the Knuckles community for participating. I am overwhelmed with everyone's generosity."
"Man, the outpouring of love from the Ben 10 community has been awesome. Thank you."
"The Nyan Cat community rallied harder than I ever could have imagined."
The fans who join, donate and tip grew up with your work.
Behind every fan club is our own community: people who spent their childhood with the games, cartoons, voices and internet moments these creators made. They're the ones who show up.
Fan communities built
Gamers, cartoon lovers and internet natives who follow our fan clubs from one launch to the next.
The age of most supporters
The generation that grew up on your work, now with the means to give back.
When they show up
We bring the community to your fan club on launch day, so support starts right away.
One mission: connecting the people behind iconic work with their fans.
Many creators stopped getting paid for their best-loved work years ago, while the fans never stopped caring. Legacy Initiatives is a New York team that builds and runs online fan clubs, so those fans finally have a way to say thank you, and the support goes straight to the creator.
We handle everything: design, setup, launch, and bringing the community together. Creators keep their work, their name and 100% of what fans give.
Done for you
About two hours of your time. Our team runs the fan club from first post to launch day and after.
100% to the creator
We never take a cut of what fans give, and there's no cost to you.
Recognition that lasts
Your fan club puts your name back next to the work people love.
Questions creators ask us
What does it cost me?
Nothing. There's no upfront cost and no fee taken from what your fans give. 100% of donations and tips go to you.
How much of my time does it take?
About two hours in total, mostly a few short videos for your fans. We handle the setup, launch and everything after.
How do I get paid?
You connect your account once during setup. From then on, every donation and tip from your fans goes straight to you.
How does Legacy make money?
Through sponsors on the platform. Brands pay to reach the fan communities we build, so we never need to take a cut of what fans give you.
Do I give up any rights to my work?
No. Your work and your name stay yours. The fan club is simply a place for fans to support you.
What if fans don't show up?
It hasn't happened yet. We're invite only, so we only work with creators we know we can do well for, people whose work still has fans who want to give back. And if it ever did happen, you'd lose nothing: no cost, no minimum and no contract to get out of.
Your fans are still out there. Let's give them a place to find you.
We only take on a handful of creators at a time, and we're picky about who we work with. Tell us about your work and we'll let you know if it's a fit.
