Impact
Tom Tom Foundation is a nonprofit that brings the Founders Festival – the Summits, Block Party, workshops, luncheons, Resident Artists, and more – to the community of Charlottesville; we aspire to keep it accessible and open to the public as much as possible. Who doesn’t love a free concert on a warm spring day in the heart of your favorite city?
The truth is: none of this is possible without our volunteers. Year after year,
we have been impacted by you. The success of the Festival thrives on the enthusiasm and endless spirit of our volunteers who work tirelessly alongside our team, dedicated to making the Festival a fun, fruitful, fulfilling experience for all attendees.
Another truth? Tom Tom Festival could not be a free event without our volunteers. Help keep Tom Tom free and donate your time and energy to one of the biggest annual events in Charlottesville!
Be part of something more. Celebrate and empower the creative, entrepreneurial, civic, and founders of the community and beyond with 300 speakers, 50 bands, and hundreds of events. You can make a difference. You can be part of Tom Tom!
