Insomniac is dedicated to making a positive impact on the local neighborhoods and communities where our events are
held. For each festival, Insomniac allocates $1 per ticket transaction and $10 per guest list attendee to raise funds for worthwhile nonprofit organizations focusing on:
Arts & Education Health & Well Being Environmental Sustainability
Since the beginning of Insomniac’s charitable giving initiative in 2011, the company has worked with over 30 local and national nonprofit organizations and donated over $1.1 million.
In 2015, Insomniac Cares launched the first-ever “EDC Week Charity Auction” in partnership with eBay For Charity and the leading companies in Las Vegas, giving the public a chance to bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences to support local charities. One hundred percent of proceeds from the auction go directly to charity.
Approximately $70,000 was raised for local nonprofit Culture Shock Las Vegas in 2015, a group dedicated to steering youth away from substance abuse, violence and hatred through performance art and dance.
