Somewhere near the top of the Bonnaroo to-do list is “change the world.” So, in 2009, the Bonnaroo Works Fund was created as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for the festival. Thanks to the generosity and support of fans around the world, BWF contributes to remarkable nonprofits helping communities thrive.
We don’t deserve all the credit. Aside from the donation included in festival purchases, a good share of the money comes from generous fans who support the Fund through ticket add-ons, the annual Silent Auction, Roo Run 5k, and other BWF fundraising efforts.
And, if you’d like to get physically involved with some of the great causes supported by the Bonnaroo Works Fund, we’re going to make that easy, too. Check out our social media channels and subscribe to our newsletter for updates on all the ways to get involved.
Since the inception of the festival, Bonnaroo and the BWF have awarded more than $8 million in funding to deserving organizations.
This is the 15th year the 501(c)(3) Bonnaroo Works Fund has support local, regional and national nonprofits.
In 2023 alone there were over 50 recipients of donations from the Bonnaroo Works Fund. We are so grateful for your contributions!
The core values of the Bonnaroo Works Fund are community, creativity, and positive influence. We champion those changing the world through social impact, human development, and community inspiration. Through our festival resources & culture, we support and collaborate with nonprofit partners doing incredible things to benefit the arts, education, sustainability, and social impact. Because you Roo, they can do…
We are here to help. We’re here to inspire. Let us be your leader in volunteering with BWF and our brilliant nonprofits. Let us guide your journey to change the world, develop better humans, and connect with those already on that mission.
