Funding Struggles
Finally, a significant portion of our funding comes from grants and fundraising events. This year, much of that has disappeared. If you are in a position to help us out with a tax-deductible financial donation, we will be most grateful. Following are details on various donation levels. You can submit your gift online at, Support the Festival or mail a check to us at Cambria Scarecrow Festival, Box 1223, Cambria, CA 93428. We appreciate donations of any amount. Everything helps.
October is a beautiful month in Cambria. We look forward to it being a time of celebration for everyone. Thank you for your support.
Here is how you can help!
We appreciate donations of any amount. Everything helps. You can submit your gift online at Cambria Scarecrow Donation or mail a check to us at Cambria Scarecrow Festival, Box 1223, Cambria, CA 93428.
As a thank you for your support, everyone who donates $100 or more will receive a complimentary copy of It Takes a Village, our photographic review of the 2019 festival.
Want to do more? Here are some ideas.
$100 funds a scarecrow. This is the average amount needed for clothing, hair and make-up, jewelry, and accessories needed to repurpose an old scarecrow or build a new one from scratch.
$250 funds a scarecrow grouping. Often, we build small displays that may involve 2 to 4 separate but related scarecrows. This amount funds the creation or refurbishment of such a group.
$500 will keep Camp Crow open for one month. We have a special unit in Tin City in which we build scarecrows and conduct workshops. Your contribution will cover the rent and utilities for one month.
$1000 will give all our stored scarecrows a home for the next quarter. We store approximately 150 scarecrows from festival to festival in several storage units in Tin City. One-thousand dollars pays the rent for three months of that storage.
