Organization description:

Independent Arts & Media is a unique and growing fiscal sponsor for artists, journalists and media producers. We support independent producers and projects that advance our mission, by enabling independent producers doing noncommercial work in the public interest to raise their own funding, and develop and present their work on their own terms. Our ultimate vision is to strengthen a culture of democracy by cultivating art and media projects that engage neighbors in civic life.
