In Summary

AthFest Educates is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to sustain and advance music and arts education for the young people in Athens-Clarke County.  In order to fulfill our mission, AthFest Educates produces two annual fundraisers, the AthFest Music & Arts Festival and the AthHalf Half Marathon. 

The proceeds from these two events fund the organization's bi-annual grant-making efforts.  Awards are issued in September and January of each academic year.  To date we have issued nearly $200,000 in grants throughout the Athens community and all fourteen Clarke County School District (CCSD) elementary schools have been recipients of AthFest Educates grants

Risks & Challenges

Our biggest challenge is letting people know about our great programs, this campaign will go a long way in making that happen. Every time we make a grant, fund a program or allow a child to experience art in a new way, we touch another life. As a superhero you will help us expand our reach and make our impact even more powerful.
