How 222,491 People Gave $100,000,000 to Support Indie Arts and Culture

Fiscal Sponsorship | Arts | Fundraising

On Wednesday May 4th, Fractured Atlas fiscally sponsored artists hit an unprecedented milestone: collectively, they have raised over $100 million dollars since the program launched in 2002. 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.

Donors to fiscally sponsored projects live in all 50 states.
