Each year after all the Festival bills are paid the Sweet Pea Board has the pleasure of deciding what to do with any net funds that may have been earned. Even though Sweet Pea is a non-profit itself, it has a policy of giving all net funds back to other non-profits in our community in the form of grants for art and art education, special projects, and park improvements.
Earlier this year, the board voted to combine the net funds accrued from prior years and offer $10,000 worth of grant money. We received many fantastic proposals for projects in our community and are pleased to announce that funding has been awarded to the following organizations:
- Bozeman Sculpture Park
- LaMotte School
- Montana Ballet Company
- The Emerson Center for the Arts
- Bozeman Summit School
- Youth Arts in Action
- Kaleidoscope Youth Theater
- Gallatin Valley Land Trust
- Youth Imperative
- Chief Joseph Middle School
We look forward to seeing the end result of the great projects these groups are working on and are excited to help make them happen!
