About Us - Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Festival Foundation is to showcase the strengths of the community by developing and producing
world-class special events that raise revenue exclusively for local charities and beautification projects; uniting residents for a
celebration of arts and culture while presenting an array of exciting entertainment. The creation of the Festival Foundation enables
non-profits to apply each season for a grant while participating in the success of the event and enhancing the economic vitality of the
surrounding area.
Grant applications will be available to all area not-for-profits. The Festival Foundation provides an
opportunity for local non-profits to receive revenue raised at the Event by participation in our fundraising programs and grant applications.
Non-profits will be allowed to file an application each season for committee review. Each recipient will be required to participate
in select activities designed to generate more revenue for their organization and the event. Responsibilities may include: staffing
an entrance point, selling products, assisting with logistics, and a variety of other event-related tasks.

Building Communities
If chosen as a grant recipient, each entity is offered an opportunity to participate in the event while showcasing
their services to all attendees. The charity is designated a percentage of the proceeds or flat rate in advance of the event by a committee
of prominent local residents, businessmen, and local officials. This creates an incentive to assist in the marketing and success
of the event. All proceeds will go directly to local charities! This is a strong commitment to our neighborhoods providing financial
assistance to non-profits.
