Since our band has formed we have had the privilege of participating in many benefit events, and these experiences have inspired the creation of our first community support project. The Kind Folk Foundation (KFF) is a fund that will allow us to use our musical performances to donate to causes, organizations, or individuals.

It is Mysterytrain’s hope that once KFF is functioning fully, we will be able to gain the trust of our supporters by building an impressive track record of charitable donations to causes they care about. We also hope that the trust we garner as a result of this support will create bigger and better opportunities for all those involved.

The following list will grow as we grow…

At this time:

KFF is in its infancy stage… call it our beta version.

KFF is formed and managed by Mysterytrain

KFF raises money by musical performances only.

KFF supports cultural diversity, promotes the importance of art and music, eco-awareness and as well as general local community benefits.

KFF DOES NOT support political parties or candidates.

KFF sponsors general benefits quarterly at each change of season. The money raised will be used throughout that particular quarter.

KFF also sponsors benefits throughout the year.

KFF sponsors the Kid’s Activity Tent at Mysterytrain festivals.

KFF expenses are paid-in-full for each benefit by the KFF fund. ex. venues, porta-pots, garbage removal etc.

 
All details pertaining to money raised for each event, expenses, money distributed are posted here.
