I am writing this to ask for your financial help in producing the 2015 Providence Folk Festival. This will be the second year of the festival and it is always the hard to raise funding. We have do have some funding but require much more to make the event a success. There are a LOT of hidden costs, as well as the obvious ones in producing a festival. We must cover advertising, staging, tents, sound, lights, sanitation, licenses, talent fees and many other production costs. Hear In Rhode Island is a non-profit organization and is experienced with festival and event production. HIRI started and ran the Hear In Rhode Island Festival from 1994-2001. That festival presented over 100 acts on four stages during the two day event. Hear In RI also produced a stage at the Newport Folk Festival for nine years. Currently, HIRI books acts for the Newport Concert Series Point stage and occasional main stage opening acts. For the past five years HIRI has been producing the Downtown Sundown Series at Roger Williams National Memorial in downtown Providence. This successful series involves 5-6 shows spaced out over the summer months. Roger Williams National Memorial is a beautiful park and is the actual location of the original Providence settlement back in 1636.  In addition to all the previously mentioned events, HIRI has produced many other shows, CDs, workshops and more. HIRI is a certified non-profit organization operating under the 501(c)(3) code. All donations are tax deductible. We have set up different levels of sponsorship that make it easy for you to help. There are also perks involved such as t-shirts, pins, signed posters and more. Please check for specific levels for the specific perks. The BIGGEST perk of all will be the SATISFACTION in knowing that you helped something great happen. We hope that you can assist us and more than anything we hope that you will come to the festival on Sunday, August 30th. Thank you!
