Underwriting that welcomes every gift to build the Fest.
These are pure underwriting opportunities — no commercial benefits, only public recognition. Each fund is a shared bucket: gifts of any size from any number of foundations, family offices, and individual donors combine to power that area of programming. Every donor is listed alongside the fund they support.
Five open funds. Every gift counts.
Each fund supports a specific layer of community impact. Contribute at any level toward any fund. Donors are publicly recognized below the fund they support; benefits are recognition only.
