These artists, groups, and organizations shared a belief that their work had value, and that their communities would not only welcome it, but also financially support it through fiscal sponsorship. And they were right: their patrons, fans, and institutional partners were right there with them, contributing the funds necessary to create and share their work. The infographics included here tell just a small part of that story, but if there’s one take away it’s this: **lots of people made this happen**. Ordinary people who made a decision to participate at a level that made sense to them. With a median donation of about $50, the collective impact of donors to fiscally sponsored projects is substantial and meaningful. To the donors who have made this milestone possible we say ***thank you***! And to our fiscally sponsored artists and organizations: keep up the amazing work and never stop believing in your value. ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*an8mrCJ480ZaZc514qtEOA.png) ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*snDxfBfeJ2r0IKEf2X32Gw.png) ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*WYyQcdxzTJDUt8O-XnbmLQ.png) ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*7RdAHYryamnR4ptMndIjIg.png) ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*ubeHmg_XqFnYFpiwgh9KAA.png) ![](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1*f4ST5VoPY0LD7UCoInmdIQ.png) Donors to fiscally sponsored projects live in all 50 states.
