Question 1

Does BWB offer funding or grants?

Sticky · Accepted Answer

Burners Without Borders has historically run two micro-grant programs:

Civic Ignition Grants are usually regionally focused, typically associated with one of Burning Man’s Community Leadership Conferences, and are selected in a consensus-driven workshop by participants directly connected to the region. The Civic Ignition Grant Program started in 2013 inspired by the BWB Chicago Community Grant Salon. We also have a tool-kit for people who want to produce their own Civic Ignition Grant Program and are here to support you in that venture.
The Community Micro-Grant program started in 2008 and has awarded over $250,000 since it began. Awards of $100-$1,500 are given to projects aimed at creating a positive impact in the world, by leveraging a relatively small amount of money to mightily empower the community’s capacity to make a difference. This program is on hold as of 2023.
