Supporting the cultural infrastructure around endometriosis.
FLARE exists because people chose to build it: artists, clinicians, volunteers, and forty-six partners and supporters in its first year. Support keeps that work continuous — between exhibitions, not only during them.
What Support Sustains

FLARE’s work is organized as lasting programs. Support is directed across them; allocations will be reported in the 2026 Impact Report.

04
Institutions & health organizations
Hospitals, clinics, universities and nonprofits working alongside FLARE on education and dialogue.
An independent platform
FLARE is an independent cultural platform, not a registered nonprofit.
That independence lets FLARE move at the pace of the artists and the community it serves: commissioning work, publishing steadily and building an exhibition in a matter of months, without waiting on a grant cycle to begin. Because FLARE is not a 501(c)(3), gifts are not tax-deductible. Contributions to the work itself are received with real gratitude, and made securely online.
