​
Do I have to donate Money?
NO, we accept all forms of donations. In-kind donations can be used for fundriasers like our Auction, Merchandise BINGO, Giveaway ceremony etc.
​
Why Would I Donate?
Because there are significant costs involved in organizing a Powwow which accommodates so many people (roughly 6000 people in 2012 and 7500 in 2014). There have been many people, especially those who live away, who say that they wish they could help in some way. People who are local can help by making donations (monetary, grocery, etc.), attending fundraising events, volunteering at fundraising events, doing mowing and other ground work in the weeks before the Powwow.
The only financial assistance for the powwow comes from applying for specific funding. Donations from individuals, community bands, and invited guests go a long way in providing for the necessary up-front costs such as food, field maintenance, rentals, etc.
Again, we thank you. Without our faithful supporters, we would not be able to make the Annual Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Powwow the great success that it has been known to be!
