During the recording process, Philmont realized that they did not have sufficient funding to mix and master the six songs they had been working on. They set up an online fundraiser via Kickstarter and set a goal of $4,000 toward which fans could pledge. In return, backers were offered exclusive rewards from the band (signed copies of the EP, bonus tracks, T-shirts, personalized videos, etc.) that got better with increasing investment amounts. Philmont surpassed their goal, and the fundraiser ended with $5,404 raised; they were able to release The Transition EP on October 19, as planned.^[7]
