Program Information
Ottawa Bluesfest is proud to support local charitable causes that enrich the community we live and work in. We are a registered non-profit charity with event proceeds going toward music education.
* Please note that we will only consider requests that are submitted in full through our Google Form, and before the deadline of November 29, 2024 at 11:59 pm. We will begin to review requests starting December 2nd, 2024.
Typically donated tickets are allotted in full by February of each year.
Our ticket donation program is intended to assist local charities with their fundraising efforts, such as silent auction items. Door prizing, staff rewards, giveaways, personal fundraising, and other uses are not permitted. We prefer to donate directly to a charity versus a third-party fundraiser but will make exceptions in cases where the event’s prominence and charitable impact are demonstrated.
Requests are prioritized based on the following:
- benefit to the community as a whole
- alignment with our strategic objectives and mission statement
- partner causes/organizations
- community development and youth
- diversity and inclusion
We receive many donation requests and make every effort to ensure we donate to a diverse group of causes and priorities. We look forward to reviewing your request!
