The State Fair of Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with proceeds helping to preserve and improve Fair Park; underwrite museum, community, and scholarship programs; and help improve State Fair operations to help put on the next State Fair of Texas. Our nonprofit purpose is funded through the proceeds from the annual 24-day State Fair of Texas event, which serves as the organizations largest fundraiser of the year. The Fair is completely self-supportive and receives no government funding. false false 43232121 1453874 48339411 Agriculture serves not only as a pillar of this organization, but as a fundamental feature of the Lone Star state and its history. The State Fair of Texas offers a variety of interactive exhibits focusing on agriculture and livestock, implementing hands-on activities that are both enjoyable and informative. Each year thousands of students from around the state work diligently in preparation for the competitive livestock events and leadership contests at the State Fair. As the largest of these events, the annual Youth Livestock Auction celebrates the agricultural heritage of our great state, while also providing scholarships and prizes to students throughout Texas. With a focus on educating visitors about Texas history and agriculture, the Fair offers a unique experience that is both informative and entertaining. With education at the core of its foundation, the State Fair of Texas aims to provide quality educational opportunities for students within the community, both locally and statewide. In support of its student ticketing program, which provided 2.1 million free tickets to students and teachers, the Fair expands its educational initiatives to the classroom with an innovative curriculum, created in partnership with Big Thought. The online curriculum combines the unique culture of the Fair with Texas history and agriculture, incorporating it into a TEKS-aligned program that focuses on STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) for grades 4 through 12. As a long-standing Dallas institution, the State Fair of Texas has a unique appreciation for the local support that makes such a big event possible every year. With the ultimate goal of having a positive community impact, the Fair aims to give back through our partnerships with local organizations and initiatives. The Fair continues to expand outreach programs while placing a special priority on promoting community involvement at the local level. Our impact in the community focuses on three areas that complement our mission social capital, human capital, and financial capital.
