Invest in a fest that starts with community.","elevator_pitch":"Treefort Music Fest is a five-day indie music festival, held at numerous venues throughout downtown Boise, Idaho every year in March. Over the first eight years it has expanded to also include Alefort, Artfort, Comedyfort, Dragfort, Filmfort, Foodfort, Hackfort, Kidfort, Skatefort, Storyfort, and Yogafort. Treefort is now a full-fledged multi-disciplinary event with a lot of dynamic collaboration and community engagement. Treefort is very active year round as an important champion for creatives.","story":"Treefort Music Fest is a force for community building and creative empowerment in Boise, Idaho and beyond. We are seeking financial support by way of a community ownership\u0026nbsp;offering to see us through COVID-19 shutdowns and secure the future of our festival. Treefort surviving this moment will prove to be a crucial engine for sparking the broader\u0026nbsp;recovery for Boise and the cultural ecosystem around the Pacific Northwest.Treefort is more than a music festival. Since its inception in 2012, Treefort has been a conduit for creators and the creative vibrancy of Boise. Treefort continually sparks enthusiasm and kinetic activity for Boise’s music, arts, and creative industries. It is a hub and multiplier of creative capital, as well as an economic driver for downtown Boise and the community at large.An investment in Treefort’s recovery will be amplified across Boise’s creative ecosystem and broader economy for years to come.\"All of this allows Treefort to bring something to the table that other festivals can’t- empowerment. The team running the show isn’t a boardroom assigned by big donors. The showrunners are women, POC, queer folks who know that with intersectionality we all win. And this isn’t rooted in some misguided sense of duty. The world is diverse. Their dream is to capture that, to hopefully let those marginalized voices have the floor in some fashion. And what you wind up with is Treefort- a beautiful congregation of those deserving to be heard and those ready to listen.\" - The 405\u0026nbsp;Treefort has always invested in the community. Now, we need the community to invest in Treefort. Two weeks before our ninth annual festival, the pandemic caused us to postpone from March to September 2020, yet we had already paid for much of the festival. In effort to keep our community safe, Treefort 9 postponed a second time to September 2021. We intend to hold Treefort 10 in March 2022.Treefort invites its community to become part owners of the festival. This financial commitment will help us through the coming months and ensure our return in 2021, while continuing to help us bring meaningful programming to the Boise community at a time when it needs it most.Treefort put Boise on the map. Treefort has given a national voice to a local scene that was once invisible to the outside world, and thus, has helped Boise retain many aspiring artists and creatives. Treefort has put Boise on the map and has differentiated our city from similar markets in the region.For nearly a decade, Treefort has provided a platform to address worldly issues with intention, championed innovation,\u0026nbsp;advocated for inclusivity and equity, held space for emotion and processing,\u0026nbsp;and created opportunities to discover; all the\u0026nbsp;while fostering a fun, happy, and safe experience in downtown Boise for people of all ages.From an entire Main Stage crowd shedding tears at Kate Tempest’s set in 2017, to shoulder-to-shoulder rooms filled with sweaty fans crowdsurfing and head bobbing to their new favorite bands, to the young musicians playing their first festival set, to the 25,000 people exploring the rising artistic communities in Boise through the forts of the fest — Treeforters have experienced it all and are better because of those experiences. Treefort pivots to stimulate the community.In 2011, Treefort planted a seed to bring energy to downtown Boise. By 2014, Treefort had grown to become a catalyst for economic and cultural activity, as recognized by being named the Cultural Ambassador for the City of Boise until 2017. In 2015, Treefort became the first-ever festival to receive B-Corp status. In 2016, Treefort helped found Boise All Ages Movement Project (B-AMP) with a mission of strengthening youth access to music and culture in Boise.\u0026nbsp;Fast-forward to 2020, in the midst of postponing Treefort 9 and a global pandemic, Treefort did not go dormant; we immediately found ways to support our local ecosystem.\u0026nbsp;Since March 2020,\u0026nbsp;Treefort launched the CCC Fund alongside the Morrison Center and Boise City Department of Arts \u0026amp; History to provide relief and energy to 69 local creatives; started the Treefort Live Music Relief Fund to assist our local live music ecosystem; become an active partner in City of Good to support local restaurants and provide food to those who need it most; is serving as a leader and the voice of Idaho in a national effort to save independent live music venues;\u0026nbsp;is active in anti-racism conversations within the greater Boise arts and culture community. With your support, Treefort can keep its momentum.Treefort’s survival will continue to...Energize the Boise creative economyGive a voice, stage, and opportunity to emerging artists from across the globeMake space for young, aspiring artistsPush boundaries in our industry and set the tone for festivals everywhereRaise the cultural bar in Boise while lowering the barrier for entryCreate opportunities to discover, connect and engageBe an environmental steward Drive meaningful economic impact in Boise and beyondHappy Treefort!“We’re all in this together” has never felt more significant than now, imagining a Boise without Treefort Music Fest is unfathomable.

With that in mind, know I appreciate any info and all your time to answer my questions. So here they are: 1. Do ticket discounts not apply unless I invest at the $500 level? 2.

Does that include the local priced tickets that are sold at the Record Exchange every year? If so, is there a minimum investment amount level needed to access those? And lastly, 3.
