About this organization
Mission
The Minnesota State Fair Foundation preserves and improves the historic Minnesota State Fairgrounds, and supports State Fair agricultural, scientific and educational programs.
About
In 2019, the Minnesota State Fair Foundation granted approximately $1 million (including approximately $60,000 for in-kind) to the Minnesota State Fair for capital and program improvements. Cash grants supported performing arts through Studio:Here; agricultural education through Urban Ag Day; continued support of the West End Redevelopment; redevelopment and enhancement of the North End including the new 'Fairstalk; improvements to the swine barn; recycling efforts; and projects that improved the fairgrounds with ventilation, seating and trees. Foundation support is aligned with these State Fair program areas: agriculture, art, environment, history and heritage, and education. The foundation also retained assets for future grants, and continued to build endowment funds.
