Compensation Foundation
Compensation Foundation is an online survey and database collecting, sharing, and analyzing information about how cultural producers are compensated.
As a website, it will function primarily as an interactive survey. After survey participation, users will be directed to the organization website which will display data highlights and have information about the organization. Data will be displayed in a number of ways, have a peer verification system, and cultural organizations will also be able to enter how they compensate the artists they work with.
Compensation Foundation is a non-profit structure that will rely on donations from individuals and foundations.
