This decision followed years of effort to build and sustain stable infrastructure for large-scale open-access live performance amid the steady loss of affordable and proximate venues across Washington, DC. Fringe festivals require a dense cluster of spaces capable of supporting more than one hundred productions annually; while Capital Fringe achieved this for a time in Downtown DC at Fort Fringe and later across multiple neighborhoods including H Street NE/Trinidad, Southwest DC, Georgetown, and Downtown DC, the long-term erosion of venue availability and rising costs made continuation unsustainable. Over twenty years, Capital Fringe activated 158 venues, nearly two thirds of which no longer exist. While the festival has concluded, Capital Fringe continues its mission through new program models, including the launch of the Ed Tyler Fringe Touring Fund and through fiscal sponsorship of independent artists and producers across the DMV. These programs extend Capital Fringes commitment to open access, experimentation, and artist support beyond a single annual event and into sustainable, future-facing forms. 187294 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 64 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X The Organization 2027377230 996 Maine Ave SW Washington DC 20024 Julianne Brienza PresidentSecretary 60.00 0.00 X X 100000 0 8156 Anthony Gittens Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Farrell Parker Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Gorodetski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 100000 0 8156 0 false false false 10000 12985 22985 Admissions 900099 8500 8500 8500 21319 21319 41319 41319 41319 41319 0 Other Income 900099 525 525 525 94648 9025 0 62638 X 100000 73000 13500 13500 15000 10950 2025 2025 9466 6910 1278 1278 10459 7635 1412 1412 7400 7400 4440 4440 39360 22555 1205 15600 27032 21864 5168 1455 212 1243 32553 23763 4395 4395 874 874 555 405 75 75 2027 2027 Artists Fees 20000 20000 270621 187294 45042 38285 142767 60413 130698 337 555 665541 688146 1100 1100 940998 749659 323 550 323 550 X 809977 149109 130698 600000 940675 749109 940998 749659 -175973 -15593 0 X false false false X 288176 564834 325429 249747 22985 1451171 288176 564834 325429 249747 22985 1451171 1451171 9505 14147 16296 21319 61267 2208 405 2794 466 525 6398 1518836 0.95540 0.78830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Each voting member of the Board of Directors is provided a copy of the final form 990 and has at least 5 business days to review the form.
