Electric Forest’s Wish Machine has inspired more than 4,500+ volunteer hours and over $75,000 in donations globally.

Electric Forest, held in Rothbury, Michigan celebrated it’s 8th annual incarnation in 2018 by launching The EF Wish Machine. The EF Wish Machine encouraged the Forest Family to spread positivity beyond the Forest and into their everyday lives. Via the wishes submitted, the Forest Family did their part in making our planet a better place. From the USA and South America, to Africa and Asia, a collective 4,500+ hours were volunteered and over $75,000 donated to community improvements and charities around the globe.



For 2019, Electric Forest plans to continue to expand and evolve the program. Giving back has always been an important part of Electric Forest and its community. Locally, Electric Forest’s Music In Schools program works to support music education in Michigan public schools. In 2018, Electric Forest donated a total of $20,000 to Music In Schools recipients. Since its inception in 2012, Electric Forest’s Music in Schools program has donated $91,000, helping bridge the gap between diminishing school budgets and music program resource needs.

Each year, Electric Forest’s annual Food Drive encourages patrons to donate non-perishable food items in exchange for a limited edition Electric Forest Food Drive poster. To date, Electric Forest has collected and distributed over 245,700 meals to local communities in need.
