Overview
Burning Man Project runs and supports the annual Black Rock City event and year-round activities by providing essential infrastructure and backing a global network of Burning Man communities. It offers grants, education and training, and art and civic programs (such as Burners Without Borders and the Fly Ranch Project) to empower builders, makers, and community leaders who spread Burning Man culture and the 10 Principles. Unlike single-event organizers, it connects a worldwide ecosystem of over 90 official events and related initiatives, coordinating resources and learning opportunities rather than selling a product. Its goal is to bring Burning Man’s culture and the 10 Principles to life around the world and sustain the community-driven projects that grow from it.
