HOW IS this 25th Annual Community Event funded?

The Earth Day Parade is funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. We do not charge a fee to folks attending workshops, asking only for a SUGGESTED DONATION of $20 per mask/costume/person. The Earth Day parade costs are minimal and include: materials and supplies we are unable to scavenge, for space rental, artists stipends for their design contributions, leadership and supervision of the workshops, and for permit fees and liability insurance that allows us to be in the streets on foot.

To become a Community Partner and give to the Earth Day Parade see the Community Partner levels listed  below.  You may also directly contact us. Little Artshram is a 501.c 3, tax deductible and non-profit organization.

You can pay online by clicking on the DONATE button at the bottom of this article.We accept both cash donations and checks made out to: Little Artshram, P.O. Box 844, Traverse City, MI 49865
