Support

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, BFS and its many programs are funded with a mix of admission fees, program sponsorships, and tax-deductible contributions from individuals and businesses. BFS also is supported by grant funding, including a FY2024 grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Essential to the BFS budget are gifts to the Annual Appeal; the 2024 goal is $22,500 from 200 supporters. Thank you to everyone who has already donated, below!  (and all who gave in 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020!)

Donating is easy:

  • Checks — mail to Belfast Flying Shoes, PO Box 133, Belfast, ME 04915
  • Credit, Debit, or PayPal — via our online payment page
  • Venmo — @belfast-flying-shoes (code 5665, if needed)

How much? The average contribution to the Appeal was $128 in 2023. Give an amount that feels right, considering your own finances and how much you value BFS programs for yourself, your friends, family, and neighbors!
