How is Camtown funded?
Funding for the Camtown Youth Festival comes from a variety of sources including the City of Camas Parks & Recreation budget, sponsorships, grants, and donations (monetary and in-kind). 

Why should I donate?
Businesses, organizations, and individuals donate their money or goods for a variety of reasons.  Our past donators have donated 1) to help support a free community event, 2) for a tax write-off, 3) to give back to their own community, 4) for name recognition for their business or organization, 5) to show support for the youth of our community.  If you have donated or wish to donate for other reasons, please let us know – we’d be glad to add your name and your reason to our on-going list!

Students are involved in all planning stages for this event.  Special presentations can be made by the students to your organization, business or corporation regarding the Camtown Youth Festival.

Where is my donation going?
Donations go towards 100% of the biggest summer event for the youth of our community.  Your donation pays for or provides for supplies, entertainment, advertising, and/or games.

How do I donate?
Monetary donations should be made by check to The Friends of the Camas Community Center, P.O. Box 491, Camas, WA  98607.  The Friends of the Camas Community Center are a 501-C-3 Non Profit.  Proof of IRS status as well as a donation receipt can be obtained by calling Gail Hitchcock, Friends’ Treasurer, at 360-260-7879.

In-kind or material donations:  A variety of donated items are used each year for the festival.  Some items are donated for us to keep while others are provided at no charge during the festival.  Past examples include:  tents, supplies for craft activities, tshirt screens, entertainment, staging office space, lumber, gift certificates, city and county services, and more.

This is a community event and it takes a community to support it.  We thank you for your contribution!
