FÊTE EN ROUGE 2026 NON-PROFIT APPLICATION

Each September, Vested hosts the Fête en Rouge, a curated evening bringing together female entrepreneurs and small business owners from across the Inland Northwest to celebrate community and collaboration. Guests arrive dressed in all red for a night of mingling and giving. Featuring live music, a silent-auction filled entirely with offerings from woman-owned businesses, other fun activities, and a seated dinner. Every dollar raised benefits a single female-focused non-profit doing meaningful work right here in our region. This year we’re opening applications for organizations to be considered as our 2026 beneficiary, and we’d love to hear from you!
