Why Rheal People Exists?
Local culture drives creativity, connection, and economic activity—but the creatives who sustain it are often unpaid, underpaid, or excluded from ownership.
Rheal People’s was created to change that.
We believe:
Local stories should be told by people from the community
Creatives deserve fair compensation for their labor
Cultural documentation should be ethical, accurate, and accessible
Media ownership should not be limited to corporations
Rheal People reinvests directly into the communities it documents, creating a sustainable model where storytelling and economic opportunity grow together.
What Your Donation Supports.
Every contribution directly funds the work and infrastructure needed to support local creatives and preserve cultural narratives.
Your donation helps fund:
Paid creative work for editors, camera operators, photographers, writers, and designers
Cultural documentation of local talent, events, entrepreneurs and grassroots movements
Independent media production free from corporate influence
Community-owned archives that preserve local history and voices
This is not volunteer-based storytelling. This is paid, ethical, community-led media.
Our Impact (Current & Growing)
Rheal People's impact is measured by people paid, stories preserved, and access created.
Through your support, Rhea’s:
Creates paid opportunities for local creatives
Expands access to professional storytelling tools
Builds long-term cultural records for future generations
Strengthens local creative economies
As funding grows, so does our ability to hire more creatives, document more stories, and expand community access & resources. For partnerships, please email us at partnerships@rheaspalace.com
