BENEFICIARY APPLICATIONS for 2013

We are now accepting applications from organizations interested in becoming a beneficiary of the 2013 Castro Street Fair. Deadline: Your request for consideration must be received by May 1, 2013.

To be considered your organization must be a valid 501(c)3 and provide support and services to the local San Francisco community. A letter of interest should be emailed to volunteer@castrostreetfair.org along with the following information:

1. One-page PDF Letter with information about your group, including updated full contact information for your volunteer coordinator, how it contributes to the community and how a donation might be used to further aid the work of your organization. Please include a phone number and a website so we can post your link on the Castro Street Fair website.
2. A rough estimate of how many volunteers you will be able to provide on the day of the event.
3. A copy of your current documentation of 501(c)3 (non-profit) status. Everyone must submit this regardless of past applications. Your application will not be considered complete without 
this form.

In 2012 the Castro Street Fair raised over $76,000 for the local community.

Proceeds from the Castro Street Fair are shared with our beneficiaries. Benefitting organizations provide volunteers to assist with various Fair operations – primarily collecting donations at our entry gates. An organization’s share of the proceeds is based on the number of volunteer hours worked. Volunteers work in shifts from 3 AM to 7 PM on the day of the Fair, which is always the first Sunday in October.
