Donate

Prospective Donor:

Consider donating to The Beverly/Morgan Park Juneteenth Family Festival for 2024, to make this year’s free festival another successful festival for the community. As festival organizers, it was important that our festival be free for the entire community. However, as such a festival can be very costly to organize, it is only by the generous donations of individuals like you, and organizations and businesses alike, that this festival is possible.

This festival is hosted by Juneteenth Family Festival and Burst Into Books. Burst Into Books is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to helping the youth deepen their love of reading by integrating the arts, providing opportunities for them to engage with literary experts and authors, and providing a space for self-expression.

All donations and sponsorship for the festival are made through Burst into Books and are tax deductible. 100% of all money collected goes to meet the direct expenses of the festival.
