SUPPORT THE IFEA THROUGH COVID-19 AND BEYOND |

Like many of you who were not able to hold your Festival or Event in 2020, the IFEA was not able to hold our largest income generator this year, our Annual Convention & Expo. At a time where support and resources from the IFEA is needed now more than ever, support for the IFEA is also needed now more than ever. As you are able, we ask for your support to raise important funds that will help to keep the IFEA fiscally healthy and ensure that we are there to continue providing the important resources; information; education; advocacy and representation; guidance; and countless other member benefits that are critical to every festival, event, host community and the many other stakeholders that make up our unique and essential industry!
