Contributions
Great Lakes Folk Festival is a non-profit venture that relies on public and private support. Major cash and in-kind support from Michigan State University, the City of East Lansing, and the State of Michigan (through the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs) provides the financial foundation for the festival, but over $200,000 in additional funds must be raised annually in order to continue making the festival a family-friendly, free event.
Contributions made to the festival are also considered gifts to Michigan State University and as such, are tax-deductible as provided by law and count towards membership in MSU's donor societies. Contributions may also be eligible for some employee matching gift programs.
