Mission Statement
The Derby Festival works each year to provide community service that directly contributes to the cultural, educational, charitable and economic development of the community. To further that mission, it has created the Derby Festival Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity. The Foundation receives and manages charitable contributions on behalf of the Derby Festival, Inc., its supporters and the general public.
