Overview
- Powerful winds and dust storms at Burning Man 2025 caused irreparable damage to the Orgy Dome’s interconnected carport structures, forcing the camp to close and cancel its usual operations.
- Consensuality Inc. opened a GoFundMe in late May 2026 with a $30,000 goal and a line‑item budget that lists a 50‑foot geodesic dome, two circus tents, and funds for weatherproofing and sound work.
- At the time local coverage published, donations had reached $22,832 toward the $30,000 target, leaving the camp to raise the remainder before setup for the 2026 event.
- The Orgy Dome is a long‑running, volunteer‑run installation that draws roughly 8,000–10,000 visitors a year, relies on about 100 volunteers, and needs extensive gear such as mattresses, AC units, sheets and power to operate safely.
- Camp members have pledged to cover recurring operational costs like laundry, sheets, safer‑sex supplies and power, and organizers are asking the wider Burning Man community to fund the structural rebuild so the consent education and large gatherings can return.
