Non-Profit Groups

Port Elgin Pumpkinfest encourages Non-Profit Organizations to fundraise during the festival weekend in unique and creative ways.

The festival offers various different contracts to non-profit groups supplying very much needed volunteers to perform such jobs as admission gates, offsite parking, managing souvenir booths, garbage collection and site tear-down.

Groups not wishing to perform a fee for service contract are encouraged to be creative in their fundraising activities by supplying an attraction to the festival.  Such examples of this include a paintball booth, a puppet show, and a motorcycle show, as well as numerous raffles and barbeques.

The festival provides exposure to almost 60,000 people over the two days to create a spectacular fundraising venue.   In the past years, close to 40 different non-profit organizations (with well over 300 volunteers combined), chose to fundraise at Port Elgin Pumpkinfest collecting over $40,000 each year, which will stay in our community to benefit various causes.
