Independent Arts & Media

Independent Arts & Media (IAM) is a San Francisco based 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to steward and empower independent art and media projects that foster community and civic participation, and facilitate cultural engagement and free expression.

Our core programming is fiscal sponsorship and professional development training opportunities. IAM currently supports over 80 affiliate projects dedicated to non-commercial work in media and the arts, including publishing, theater, dance, music, visual art, film and video, journalism, history, and public-events production. While our fiscally sponsored projects are primarily based in the Bay Area, we support projects all over the country.
