Tax-deductable Presentations


One of our ways to fundraise as a public charity non-profit, is to present our dances and traditions throughout the Northwest.  These donations help us to cover the costs of gas, regalia (native wear), instruments, and community celebrations.  
For a 1-hour interactive presentation, we ask for the following donations:
$450  Woodburn 
$525  Salem or Portland area
$650+  Beyond 45 miles of Woodburn

*some discounts are given to libraries that book 2+ performances in a day
**presentations are a minimum of 1-hour.  Discounts are not given for 1/2 hour presentations.
*** we may ask for an additional gas stipend if the presentation is beyond 60 miles from Woodburn
