Funders & Sponsors
Funders & Sponsors
Funders and sponsors make participation, arts practice, care, and continuity possible without purchasing access to young people.
May a sponsor select a participant?
No. The Institute retains independent admission and care decisions. A gift does not grant access to participant records, stories, images, or private events.
How are participants represented?
The Institute avoids rescue narratives and obtains separate permission for publicity, fundraising, research, or publication. Youth are presented as people with gifts, judgment, rights, and communal responsibilities.
How is charitable accountability handled?
The Commune Institute is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Gift acknowledgments state the value of any goods or services provided in return.
