The 2026 Non-Profit In-Kind Donation Application
The 2026 Town of Dillon Non-Profit Donation Application for in-kind requests will close on Saturday, February 28. This is the only opportunity annually to request in-kind services or donations from the Town of Dillon. All in-kind (free or discounted) services or products, including free/in-kind use of or partnership with the Dillon Amphitheater, Marina Park Pavilion, Town Park, Dillon Marina, etc., must be requested through the online Town of Dillon In-Kind Donation Application.
The Town of Dillon looks forward to continuing its annual collaboration with local non-profits, and continuing into 2026, selected non-profits will be chosen as beneficiaries of our Mountain Music Monday Free Concert Series. The Mountain Music Monday Free Concert Series, a staple of Dillon’s summer event calendar, will feature a lineup of talented local artists as well as nationally renowned touring acts. What makes the series even more special is the Town’s partnership with local non-profits, turning concerts into impactful fundraising opportunities. In 2025, the Town successfully raised over $25,000 for local non-profits through the beneficiary program.
Local non-profits are invited to join with the Town of Dillon in making Mountain Music Mondays a success. Participating non-profits will be responsible for marketing and promoting the event within their networks and communities. In return, non-profits will receive one dollar from every beer and wine sale during the event, and an opportunity to have a tent/table at the event to raise awareness of each non-profit’s mission. This provides an excellent opportunity for organizations to raise funds while enjoying an evening of live music and community spirit.
