Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival has joined Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement that encourages people to transform their communities and the world by giving to help others. This year, as the world celebrates Giving Tuesday on November 28, 2023 (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving), we’re hoping that you can help the Festival celebrate 10 years of bringing the art of storytelling to our area and to online viewers across the globe.
Each year, the Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival gives away hundreds of free tickets to students and teachers, individuals with disabilities, and low-income individuals attending the festival in person and thousands of free tickets to students/teachers watching online. We also offer discounted tickets to senior citizens, military personnel, and others and keep the full-price ticket fee incredibly low. This is to ensure that everyone can have access to the arts.
To help us continue bringing the art of storytelling to our community and yours, please consider donating. A generous festival friend has volunteered to match the first $1000 given, so we’re looking for 100 people who can donate $10 or more in honor of the festival’s 10th anniversary. Can you give at least $10? Can you find a friend who can do the same?
This is what your donation can do:
· $10 pays for a student or teacher to attend the festival in person or for a class to view the festival online
· $50 helps pay for large-print and Braille copies of the festival's program to visitors
· $100 helps to pay for sign language interpreting at the festival
· $200 or more helps to bring top-notch storytellers to the festival
See the donation page on our website for additional giving levels and information.
Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival is a volunteer-run 501c3 organization; therefore, every cent of your donation directly supports GMSF programs. Your tax-deductible donation may be made through the donation page on our website. Alternately, checks may be mailed to Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival at 440 Butternut Creek Road, Blairsville, GA 30512.
