NON PROFIT APPLICATION

The City of Hayward and West Coast Makers is looking to provide festival participants with a wealth of information about local agencies, volunteering, health/fitness, academic enrichment, faith-based groups, the arts, and much more. The City strongly encourages you to apply as a community resource for our Juneteenth Festival and share information about your agency with thousands of community members. 

A Juneteenth Festival Community Resource is an agency that provides important information pertaining to children, families, seniors, or other valuable social services in the Hayward community. A community resource must be a certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered as a charity with the California Attorney General, 501(c)4 membership organization, or a governmental agency. 

As political or religious activity does not meet the intent of the Juneteenth Festival and could give the appearance of religious preference, campaigning, or advocacy on the part of the City, it is not permitted.

Applications for Community Resources will be evaluated on the following criteria:

1. Quality of information provided;

2. Uniqueness/non-duplication of information;

3. Returning community resources in good standing with the City;

4. Local-based non-profit community resource;

5. Date that the completed entry is received.

Exhibitor acceptance decisions are at the sole discretion of the City. The Festival reserves the right to admit duplicate businesses or extend exclusivity based on Festival size and needs.

All Non Profits shall hold their Non Profit 501c3 to be eligible for their Vendor Fee waived.
