Traditional committees can’t evaluate all projects fairly.
What if the communities who would actually benefit could decide instead?
We are creating a platform to discover
what communities actually value.
Create your video proposal
Making an installation? Writing a book? Touring with your band? Artists submit video proposals to share with the community.
Vote on projects
Community members vote on projects they want to see happen; each project's collective value is scored.
Top-ranked projects are funded
Through a democratic selection, projects with the highest value per dollar receive funds.
Transparent, scalable algorithms for collective decision-making
We prioritize projects that have strong community support and offer the greatest impact per dollar invested.
Why are we doing this?
Traditional arts funding is slow, opaque, and favors a few. We're experimenting with a community-driven grant process that's transparent, more inclusive, and built around care.
This is an experiment.
We're testing what happens when artists and supporters decide together what gets funded. We'll be sharing what we learn, and adjusting as we go.
