The Genius Awards, The Stranger’s non-profit granting program, delivers $25,000 of cash support each year to local talented artists in the disciplines of visual art, literature, film, music, and theater. There is no application process for this honor, as honorees are selected by the genius alumni and editorial staff of The Stranger.
During his time at Shunpike, principal Andy Fife provided coaching and business advising to The Stranger of fundraising and messaging as well as the development of a joint fundraising event.
