About the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation
In 1995, community leaders established the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) partner of the Wisconsin State Fair. The Foundation has been here ever since to provide donors with a pathway to contribute to our beloved Fair and play a role in improving aging buildings, supporting programming and creating personal legacies at the Fair Park.
Our Collective Impact: Over the past six years, the Foundation has funded more than $730,000 toward projects and programs of the State Fair thanks to the generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors. Thanks to donors like you, we are able to fund:
- Central Park: Improvements including a new fountain and seating area, and renovation projects with $45,000 in new seating.
- Ag Education: Funding “Ag Discovery Day” at the fair park every spring for over 1,000 elementary school students.
- Art Programs: Support for visual arts and performing arts programs at the Fair.
