Community Donation Application Process

Do you have a local non profit organization that you would like the California Avocado Festival to support?

We’re proud to support organizations that align with our mission of strengthening the Carpinteria community. If your group, club, or nonprofit is making a positive impact in Carpinteria, we’d love to hear from you!

How It Works
To be considered for a donation, your organization must participate in our festival volunteer program at the Carpinteria Avocado Festival. Here's the deal:

  • Apply to be a considered organization below.

  • Recruit volunteers to staff a full beer pouring shift from your organization

  • Each person will work a 4-hour shift at the festival

  • In return, the approved organizations will be included in the pool of donation distribution at the end of the festival. The more people that support the festival from your organization the higher you will be considered for the donation amount.

This is a great way to give back and raise funds—all while being part of a fun, community-driven event. Your organization can wear t-shirts that represent your organization during your shift for additional exposure.

Please complete the application below to tell us about your organization and how it serves Carpinteria. Once submitted, we’ll follow up to review if you are approved by the board and then coordinate volunteer scheduling and next steps.
