Non-Profit Partner Vending Program (NPPV)

What is NPPV?

The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival’s Non-Profit Partners Vending Program invites non-profit organizations representing a variety of missions and causes to earn money and market for their organization by supplying volunteers to work a concession booth selling festival items. Partners apply and, depending on openings, are assigned by the CDBF NPPV Coordinator to one of the following areas of festival sales operations: Beer, Beverage, Merchandise or Bike Corrals.

Requirements and Training

In order to apply, it is recommended that your organization has at least 10 individuals + a booth manager able to run the booth throughout the days of the festival. There should be multiple shifts of at least 5 (including booth manager) onsite at all times. All nonprofit partners will be trained and managed by our Beverage Management team that will be onsite. In 2025 we gave back over $10,000 to our Non-profit Partners!

TRAINING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL NPPV PARTNERS!
