Dos Leches Society
Dos Leches is now a registered non-profit, the Dos Leches Music and Events Society. The Society is how we keep events free for good. It lets us apply for grants, hold our partnerships in one place, and put every dollar back into the park. We've never charged admission, and we never will.
What the Society does
Keep events free
No tickets, no cover, no gate. That doesn't change.
Build a foundation
A non-profit structure lets us apply for municipal, provincial, and federal grants and plan more than one season ahead.
Run it properly
We coordinate with the city on permits and safety, work with licensed partners, and put what we raise back into the events.
Dos Leches Gives
Dos Leches Gives is the part of our work that reaches past the event itself. We run food bank collection drives at our gatherings, raise funds for causes that matter to this city, and use our platform to showcase local artists. Bring a non-perishable item to the next event and it goes straight to the local food bank.
How we're funded
Dos Leches is volunteer-run and community-supported. We've had support from partners like the Eau Claire Community Association for operational costs such as washrooms and security. Merch sales go back into events. We've never taken investor money. Everything goes back into keeping events free.
