Frequently Asked Questions

Are in-kind donations tax-deductible?

We are not registered with the CRA and therefore currently cannot provide tax-deductible receipts. However, we do provide acknowledgement for all donations received.

When should items be donated?

Ideally, we need most items at least one week before the festival. Some perishable items (like watermelons) should be delivered closer to the event date.

What if I want to donate something not on the list?

We welcome all donation offers! Please contact us using the form above or email directly, and we'll let you know if your item can be used for the festival.

How will my donation be recognized?

All in-kind donors are listed in our festival program and on our website. Significant donations may receive additional recognition at the event.
