Fractured Atlas

Fractured Atlas is a national arts service organisation founded in 1998 and operating as a fully remote, distributed team across the United States. A nonprofit, its stated purpose is to make the path from artistic inspiration to sustainable practice more accessible and equitable for artists and creatives. Work is centred on fiscal sponsorship, fundraising infrastructure and support services for the creative sector, with a focus on equity, accessibility and inclusion.

The organisation runs what it describes as the largest fiscal sponsorship programme in the country, supporting thousands of active projects across every creative medium and in all 50 states. Alongside this, it provides fundraising tools that have facilitated more than $45m in raised funds for sponsored projects, visa letter services for artists with travel and immigration needs, community programming, and free and paid educational resources. Expert staff offer personalised one-to-one guidance and constructive feedback on fundraising materials.

Its work sits at the intersection of nonprofit arts, arts and culture, creative industries, theatre, and fundraising and philanthropy. The organisation is structured for remote work, with no fixed central office, and describes its culture as mission-driven and supportive of the creative community it serves.
