Overview
Forgotten Creators is a mission to sustain long-tail creativity by supporting independent, underrepresented makers who often go unheard. This initiative channels donations toward projects that may not fit mainstream funding, but which enrich culture and curiosity. Your generosity helps preserve digital archives, empower creators to plan sustainable releases, and sustain a community that values diverse voices.
Why Your Support Matters
Support for Forgotten Creators matters because independent voices become stronger when resources are predictable and accessible. This initiative elevates creators who do not fit the typical funding funnel and helps ensure their work remains discoverable over time.
By investing in this community, you contribute to a shared ecosystem where experimentation is valued and collaboration is rewarded. Your support translates into more projects that endure, more mentorship opportunities, and more pathways for audiences to find work that might otherwise fade.
How Donations Are Used
Funds are directed toward core development for the platform that supports Forgotten Creators, including tooling that makes it easier to publish, archive, and remix work with permission and proper attribution.
We also maintain hosting and bandwidth for open archives, build accessibility improvements such as captions and translations, and expand multilingual outreach to reach diverse communities. A portion supports governance updates, security audits, and transparent reporting so contributors see the impact of their generosity.
We publish quarterly reports with line items and open metrics, inviting feedback from creators and supporters alike. This keeps the process clear and measurable, while preserving the creative freedom that drives long-tail projects.
Updates
- Launched multilingual captions for new back catalog sections to improve accessibility in three languages.
- Released the first public quarterly spending report with project-by-project breakdowns.
- Expanded hosting capacity to support higher-resolution media and larger archives.
