Why do we need sponsors
As an organization that is interested in promoting African culture and heritage, we do this to meet the world standard and enable Africans in the United States to take pride in their culture. Therefore, at all times, we are faced with making the best of every festival to suit the taste of the world and in the same quality as how it is done on African soil. To achieve these, certain ingredients are essential, these include appropriate costumes, sound system, performing artists, lighting effects, and many others.
The Annual Des Moines African Youth Festival award, which started in the year 2020 is dependent on the availability of adequate resources to enable the organization to cater to the needs listed above. But in the last three editions of the festival, insufficient resources have been manageably used to achieve these needs. However, with financial aid from different organizations, the organization will have just sufficient resources to carry out its objectives and also be able to make the future edition of the festival a world-class standard like its counterparts.
These funds will be used to build/rent a hall/auditorium that will be used for the event annually; we will also purchase essential costumes for the use of artists during the festival. As in our tradition, the funds will also enable us to be able to pay local and invited artists that perform during the festival. Why this is important because putting all of these factors and expenses in place will ensure a subsidized or free entrance fee for the audience, especially African youths who might be interested in attending the festival but restricted financially.
