Community Festival is a year-round organization, not just a festival for three days each year. One way we accomplish this is by supporting individuals or organizations with community-based projects through our Grants Program. Since 2006, ComFest has awarded more than $300,000 to organizations and projects that promote the ComFest Statement of Principles. In 2018, Comfest awarded $15,600 in full or partial grant awards to nine recipients. See recipients below.
Grants applications are typically available in November, and are due the day after Martin Luther King Day each year.
