Annual Report: 2019-2020
- Annual Report document: Link here
January, 2021: Houston Burners publishes this report annually(ish) to give a full and transparent view of the nonprofit’s activities. It includes financial details, recent organizational duties and responsibilities, accomplishments and goals. It also endeavors to reflect recent community focus areas well beyond the platform and resource base that the nonprofit represents, to help share the diverse interests of the burner community the nonprofit supports. These activities are only possible because of the entire community’s commitments to supporting the ethos of Burning Man in our region and the world. Thank you to all community members who participated in connecting and enlivening burner culture this year, and a special thanks to the volunteers who helped document and report their projects and adventures for this report.
PLEASE NOTE PAYPAL’S SITE ONLY MENTIONS THE NONPROFIT ORG’S NAME, RATHER THAN BWB—BUT REST ASSURED THAT 100% OF ALL FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THIS PLATFORM WILL GO DIRECTLY TO SUPPORT BWB’S EFFORT.
DONATE TO HURRICANE LAURA DISASTER RELIEF
