General Information

Event Description

YLC Wednesday at the Square is proud to host a Non-Profit Showcase at its concerts each week to highlight the many ways that non-profit organizations in our community have a positive impact on the lives of New Orleanians. The following document outlines the rules and conditions for participation in the exhibit area.

YLC Wednesday at the Square attracts an audience of downtown administrative to management level professionals, middle to upper income, aged 25-55 years. It also draws music lovers from as far away as the Northshore, Mississippi, and the River Parishes.

Application Requirements

Because YLC is a non-partisan, non-political, and non-religious organization, we ask that non-profit organizations participating in YLC Wednesday at the Square also fit these criteria.

YLC selects participants at our sole discretion. There is a limit of one non-profit organization per concert to be featured in the showcase. When these spaces are filled we will not make additional space. Space may not be reserved until this signed agreement and your organization's IRS Determination Letter have been received.

If your organization would like to participate, complete and submit the following form no later than January 11, 2019. Applications received after this date will not be considered. YLC will notify selected organizations after the selection process is complete.
