Abbot Kinney Festival

Venice, CA (April 7, 2014) The Abbot Kinney Festival Association (AKFA) is now accepting applications for its Community Grants Program.

Venice- based community organizations and non-profits are encouraged to apply for grants (maximum $5,000).
The AKFA has donated more than a quarter million dollars to the Venice community since the grants program began; planting gardens, building robots, sparking creativity and supporting families in need. Money from festival sponsorships, exhibitor booths, commemorative merchandise, and advertising fund the AKFA Community Grants Program.

Festival proceeds will be awarded to this year’s recipients during the Abbot Kinney Festival, Sunday, September 29, 2013.
“The festival’s free and a lot of fun! But the driving force behind it all is giving back to our community – to Venice. We’re doin’ good in the ‘hood”, said Donna Humphrey, Chair, Abbot Kinney Festival Association.
