Ways to Donate

DONATE TO THE WASHINGTON STATE FAIR FOUNDATION

When you think of the Fair, what comes to mind? Warm scones and the bright lights of the Midway? Livestock lining the barns or the laughter of children? Maybe it’s the grange displays or treasured collections in Hobby Hall. For more than a century, the Washington State Fair has been a place where family, fun, and education come together — creating memories that last a lifetime at The Grand Ol’ Fair.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to preserve the traditions that connect generations and tell the story of who we are. With your support, we can ensure the Fair continues to hold a special place in the hearts of your children, grandchildren, and great-great-great-grandchildren.

Gifts to the Washington State Fair Foundation sustain and grow the Fair’s educational programs, preserve its rich legacy through restoration and preservation projects, and enhance the fairgrounds for future generations. Donations support initiatives like the Traveling Farm, provide annual scholarships for local youth, and help fund meaningful improvements — including the Farm at SillyVille and the History Experience. The generosity of our community continues to make these projects, and many others, possible.

For more than 125 years, the Washington State Fair has been woven into the fabric of our community. Your gift — large or small — helps secure its future and ensures the memories, traditions, and opportunities of The Fair live on for generations to come.

For more information about giving opportunities, contact the Foundation office at (253) 841-5120 or foundation@thefair.com .
