Ways to Donate

DONATE TO THE WASHINGTON STATE FAIR FOUNDATION

When you think of the Fair, perhaps you think of scones or the Midway. Maybe you see livestock lining the barns or hear the laughter of children. Maybe your mind wanders to grange displays and the Hobby Hall collections. The Washington State Fair has been the place for family, fun and education for over a century and nothing evokes such strong or fond family memories like The Grand Ol' Fair.

In the fast-paced world we live in, it is important to hold on to the tradition of days gone by so that we may tell our stories to future generations. With your help, we can ensure that the Fair holds a tender place in your great-great-great grandchildrens' hearts too.

Gifts made to the Foundation support the growth of The Fair’s educational programs, ensure that the Fair’s founding legacy lives on through preservation projects and facilitates enhancements to the fairgrounds. Donations help create and continue to sustain operation of the Traveling Farm, as well as provide scholarships each year for our community’s youth. Gifts have been used to improve the fairgrounds, including the creation of the Farm at SillyVille and the History Experience. The community’s generosity has helped to fund many other projects on the fairgrounds as well.

The Washington State Fair has been part of the fabric of our community for more than 120 years. The Fair evokes fond memories of values we hold dear and of times that have gone by. In these fast-paced times, we need to hold on to the best things from our past in order to help tell our stories to future generations. That is where you come in… your gift, large or small, will help secure the future of The Fair for generations to come.
