Burning Man’s Budget Shortfall: $14 Million Still Needed to Bridge the Gap Ahead of 2025
Burning Man still needs to raise $14 million amid its ongoing fundraising efforts, according an update sent by Burning Man CEO Marian Goodell.
An update sent by CEO Marian Goodell amid Burning Man Project's ongoing fundraising efforts says the nonprofit is currently $14 million short of its stated goal. Due to the ticket sales shortfall to Black Rock City in 2024, we found ourselves needing to make mission-aligned budget adjustments and raise the remaining deficit to the tune of approximately $10 million—this, in addition to the initial $10 million goal. The update comes amid a fundraising campaign launched in October by Burning Man Project — the nonprofit behind the annual gathering in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert and other Burning Man-related initiatives — that notified Burners that the organization needs to raise $20 million in charitable donations by the end of 2024 due to the fact that the 2024 festival did not sell out “as planned,” per Goodell’s original announcement.
