The Open Gift Standard.
Every project on For the Playa agrees to this before it's listed and attests to it every year.
- Open to anyone who walks up. No list, no wristband, no “friends of camp.” If there's a capacity limit, access is first-come or lottery, never curated.
- Findable. On the camp's frontage or in open playa, with posted hours listed in the city's event guide.
- Marked. A standard placard: what the gift is, that it's open to all, when, and that donors made it possible. No logos, no donor names.
- Separated. Nothing funded through For the Playa is camp-only. The members' lounge, backstage, and the after-party stay on the camp's own budget.
- Attested. The project attests annually that the standard was met, with photos, and we can verify on playa.
