In 2017, we received gifts of all sizes and types that made a direct impact on Burning Man Project’s activities, such as Art and Civic Engagement, the Fellows program, art in Black Rock City and in the world, Regional Events and Contacts, our Education programs, and so much more. Among the many gifts received, a few were unique contributions that highlighted the gift-givers’ passion and love for Burning Man: a donation to scale resources for the Leave No Trace efforts in Black Rock City, transportation for Burners Without Borders to get to playa, and a donated truck that now helps the teams building Black Rock City. And for the first time ever, an entire theme camp stepped forward with a matching challenge grant. In true Burner fashion, the community showed up to participate with donations of all sizes, and the generous theme camp matched their contributions one-for-one, raising funds to support all of Burning Man’s yearly activities!
Every day, people are contributing gifts to Burning Man through their time, skills, knowledge, art, and more. These contributions are the foundation of our community and culture, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. We are grateful that our community is helping us grow our Philanthropic Engagement programs and that individuals, foundations and organizations are increasing their giving to help us fulfill our mission. In the spirit of radical appreciation, we want to thank you for all the ways you participate and live the culture of Burning Man!
We are deeply appreciative of every volunteer, participant, organizer, artist, and donor in 2017, and if we were to list them all, that list would stretch for miles. As we grow our programs, we’re thankful to these supporters who donated $100 or more in 2017 in support of our mission.
