THE DOWN TO FUNK FUND
Founding Funksters
Thank you to all the funksters who are donating to support our fair-pay, people-first festival.
These generous donors supported the launch of Down To Funk Festival in 2026. Your donation today helps cover the expenses unique to the start of Down To Funk’s adventure, which is why the Founding Funkster designation will forever be reserved for first year donors.
