What is A Diamond Experience, Inc.?
A Diamond Experience, Inc. is a California-based, federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that produces professionally managed live music and cultural events. Our goal is to create meaningful community experiences while using a portion of event proceeds to support local schools, youth programs, and community initiatives.

 

Is A Diamond Experience really a nonprofit?
Yes. A Diamond Experience is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As a nonprofit, we operate with a community-first mission rather than a profit-driven model.

 

How is A Diamond Experience different from a for-profit music festival?
Unlike commercial festivals, A Diamond Experience reinvests a portion of event proceeds into community-focused programs. The remaining revenue is used to responsibly fund future events, ensuring sustainability while continuing to create community impact.

 

Community Impact & Use of Funds

 

Where does the money from your events go?
Event revenue is used to cover the costs of producing high-quality, safe, and accessible events. A portion of net proceeds is directed toward supporting local schools, youth programs, and community initiatives, while the remainder helps fund future nonprofit events and operations.

 

How do your events benefit the local community?
Our events support communities by:

• Bringing people together through shared cultural experiences

• Supporting local artists, vendors, and service providers

• Reinvesting a portion of proceeds into education and community programs

• Encouraging community engagement and volunteer involvement

 

Do you donate 100% of your proceeds?
No. As a nonprofit event organization, we balance community reinvestment with long-term sustainability. A portion of proceeds supports community initiatives, and the remainder ensures future events can continue to operate responsibly.
