Waterfront Weekend Seeks Beneficiaries
The Waterfront Weekend committee is currently accepting proposals from local non-profits to be included as one of this year’s major beneficiaries. Last year, the Weekend raised over $32,000 that was split between 12 local organizations. In 2020, no more than 8 organizations will be chosen in order to make the largest impact for the beneficiaries.
The 2019 beneficiaries included: Genesis House, Loma Vista Farm, Mare Island Historic Park Foundation, Midsi Sanchez Foundation, Rebuilding Together Solano County, Spinal Care Injury Active Network, Solano County Fairgrounds, Solutions for At-Risk Youth, Vallejo Community Access Television, Vallejo Community Arts Foundation, Vallejo Senior Center and Vallejo Shakespeare in the Park.
The Vallejo Waterfront Weekend supports all non-profits, but this year the committee is looking specifically for 501(C)3 organizations needing financial assistance to make a large impact on the Vallejo community, whether through the organization or to complete a project. Requirements include active involvement in planning for the 2020 Vallejo Waterfront Weekend event, providing volunteer assistance during the actual event, which is set for October 3 and 4, and the organization must be in the City of Vallejo.
To apply to be a 2020 Beneficiary, please visit www.vallejowaterfrontweekend.com, or call (707) 738-6964 to request a Beneficiary Proposal Form, due by March 31. Beneficiaries will be selected by April 15.
If you are interested in other opportunities for a non-profit to raise money for their organization by conducting individual events at the festival, please contact us at (707) 738-6964 or email [email protected].

I hope everyone will submit their art as part of this year’s exciting competition!”
