Friends Of The Festival


Welcome Friends!
Donations
Blue Mountain Festival is incorporated as a 501(c3) non-profit and approved as a public charity under section 170 of the IRS Tax Code.  BMF is committed to creating exceptional musical opportunities for children and young adults, and to making those opportunities accessible to families from all socio-economic backgrounds.  Your donation can help make this possible.

​Supporting the Blue Mountain Festival
Funding for the Blue Mountain Festival comes from the following sources: student tuition fees, individual cash gifts, business & corporate sponsorships, government and private foundation grants, and in-kind donations. Since we are a non-profit organization, we rely on the generous support of outside sources. If you would like to help the Festival with financial support, please contact Milka Verhaegen, President at (484) 832-4660.
