Volunteer with Oktoberfest Pendleton

Oktoberfest Pendleton invites your organization to submit a proposal for receiving a donation from the proceeds of the event.

Our organization seeks to create a fun event  that supports the community. Since 2015, Oktoberfest has provided 15 scholarships and offered financial support to 22 organizations. The amount of donation your  organization could receive will vary based on many factors including number of  volunteers, number of attendees and weather conditions. In order to have a  successful event and achieve these goals, we need volunteers. 

The volunteer  schedule consists of a variety of jobs scheduled in approximately 4-hour  shifts: 1 shift Friday afternoon for setup, 3 shifts to cover the day of the  event, and 1 shift on Sunday for clean-up. Each organization will need to  provide volunteers to work during each of these shifts. We hope to have 20-30  volunteers from your group. Oktoberfest Pendleton will provide a schedule  where your volunteers can sign up for a preferred time slot but some  flexibility may be needed to ensure all volunteer slots are filled. The  volunteer sign-up schedule is designed to spread out volunteers from multiple  organizations to cover all the time slots needed.

During the review process, we will focus on the following areas, which are considered as pivotal to the success of the project and your organization's partnership with Oktoberfest Pendleton.

What is your organization?

How does your organization serve our community? What would the funds be used for?

Can you commit at least 20 volunteers to the event?

Do you have volunteers  that are 18+ and can help serve food, pour beer, sell merchandise and tickets,  or fill in where needed?
