Gifting is one of the many ways that people participate in Burning Man. All gifts, whether big or small, are cherished and celebrated equally because each gift is an act of self-expression that helps amplify and extend the Burning Man culture.
Gifts within the community were plentiful in 2016. Among the thousands of acts of gifting, many chose to make a monetary gift to Burning Man Project because they believe in Burning Man’s ability to effect positive change in the world. We received generous support from individuals, foundations, matching gift programs, organizations, theme camps, and more. These donations helped water the budding garden of Burning Man Project’s programs.
Burning Man’s global programs–Burners Without Borders, the Regional Network, Civic Arts, Global Art Grants, and our Education programs–were born from the culture created at Black Rock City. These programs continue to be guided by the community and the culture. With increased financial support from generous donors, they can continue scaling to meet the ever-increasing demand from our growing cultural movement. That means we can provide more resources, education, and support to empower and inspire our global citizenry of artists, volunteers, regional leaders, and participants to create meaningful change within themselves and their communities.
As stewards and servants to this global community, we send you our enormous gratitude for every single gift you share. Thank you.
