Support the Bend Comedy and
Arts Foundation
Bend Comedy Festival is presented by the Bend Comedy and Arts Foundation, a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every donation made and ticket sold supports future arts events in the community.
Keep Bend Laughing. Support the Arts.
Comedy has the power to bring people together—across backgrounds, generations, and perspectives. By donating to the Bend Comedy & Arts Foundation, you help us strengthen community, grow Central Oregon’s arts scene, and bring diverse voices to Bend through the Bend Comedy Festival and year-round programming.
Your support directly expands access to the arts in Bend.
Your Donation Helps Us:
• Bring nationally touring comedians to Bend so local audiences experience world-class comedy right here at home.
• Spotlight local and emerging artists through performances, workshops, and creative development opportunities.
• Amplify diverse voices by booking underrepresented artists and sharing stories that reflect more perspectives.
• Create access for all through free and reduced-cost tickets distributed to nonprofit and community partners.
• Grow the arts in Central Oregon by building audience, nurturing talent, and establishing Bend as a true arts destination.
Community Access
Each year we partner with Central Oregon nonprofits to give free tickets to community members who might not otherwise be able to attend performances. By donating, you directly help bring more people—of all backgrounds—into the arts.
Our Mission
The Bend Comedy & Arts Foundation is dedicated to honoring comedy’s ability to uplift, connect, and inspire through comedic arts performances.
Our vision is a Bend where the arts are welcoming, accessible, and meaningful for everyone—especially those who haven't traditionally been part of the performing arts community.

Together, we’re not just putting on a festival—we’re building a stronger, more connected arts community.
