About US

What exactly do we do, anyway? And why should you be a member of the community?

We fund the arts, and we do it in an innovative way that eliminates the risk of conventional old-school funding, creating a win-win-win community for everyone involved. It all stems from a ground-breaking patent that we created and filed back in 2004. We are and were the first with this cool new concept of how to creatively fund creativity!

Fundyourartist.com provides the means for an artist to get funded and not spend the rest of their lives “owing” friends and family who would in many cases serve as the only funding option. Do you really want to ask your family again for a few bucks so you can finish up that studio recording or art project? I didn’t think so! (Yeah, they love you and think you’re a genius, but that only goes so far. “Show me the money!”)

We recognize the importance of the creative mind and the struggles that you endure to get your music heard, art seen, literature read, and film watched. Through many years of learning, research, and experimenting (and some blood, sweat, and tears!) we came up with a perfected funding model that is fair and simple for all involved.

We also recognize that most creative people just want to be artists and that right-brained artists aren’t necessary the best business people. (In other words, let’s get real. Say some rock star was written a $10,000 check in order to make a studio recording. That musician is not guaranteed – nor is he always inclined - to spend the money wisely. Right? You know it’s true.) With this in mind, Fundyourartist.com not only provides the funding tools, but we also provide the management, forming valuable alignments with the best Film Producers, Distributors, Music Producers, Engineers, Literary Agents, Publishers, and Art Dealers . These are the left-brainers who make sure the project that is funded is properly managed, produced, and distributed in order to achieve optimum success.

Funding is great, but management provides careers…and our partners have the Grammys (the awards; not the grandmas!), Oscars, and other awards to prove it.
The potential for the Arts is amazing…

We are trying to keep this simple, but you as the member of the community are part of something “bigger.”

According to most recent reports by comScore, the total number of social networking users worldwide was 580 million and growing as of the end of 2008, a 25% increase year-over-year, and was expected to match or exceed that growth in 2009 regardless of the continued decline in the world economy. In a recessionary environment that has hit other media sectors with great vigor, internet advertising revenues in the U.S. were at $22.7 billion for the full year of 2009, according to numbers released by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC).

What does all that mumbo-jumbo mean??? Well, a ton of money is being made on the internet through social networking communities that up until now just made a lot of young kids rich! These inventive hot-shot kiddos tend to give nothing back to the community other then a place to socialize. Not us! WE SHARE THE REVENUE THAT YOU HELP TO CREATE! And we do it in a way that establishes us as an operational, reliable, and profitable company that’s solid as a rock. Our plan and commitment is to continue with this model for many, many years to come. Are you ready for the future?!

No promises, but we provide the tools!
Fundyourartist.com makes no promises to any of its members, nor do we guarantee funding. We make that understood in everything we do and in all of our contracts and agreements that are published on the site. All of our terms are made perfectly clear so that you know exactly what percentage you are getting and what we expect of you. No small print or hidden clauses here!

There is no way to promise that everyone who tries will get funded. We wish we could finance every artist worldwide, but again, let’s get real! Getting funded depends on your ability to interact with members of the community, bring new members into the community, and also upon the quality of your project. Remember, your fans will own part of the interest in that project!

We simply provide realistic tools so that everyone at least has a shot. A chance of success and achieving your dreams is at your fingertips! Go for it! Dream big!
