Friends of The Big Fresno Fair – The Big Fresno Fair’s non-profit 501(c)(3) Foundation – has been working behind the scenes for more than a decade to raise millions of dollars in support of the Fair! The Friends of The Big Fresno Fair focuses on support of the Fair’s vast educational programs such as the 4.0 & Above Program, Big Band Review and Fair Education.
The non-profit Foundation is also dedicated to providing the community with Historical and Cultural information by way of their support of the Fair’s two award-winning museums, the 7,000 sq. ft. Fresno County Historical Museum and the 2,000 sq. ft. Big Fresno Fair Museum, with information chronicling the 141-year history of the Fair itself.
The Big Fresno Fair's nonprofit Foundation is run by the Friends of the Big Fresno Fair Board which boasts more than 60 members and is operated and directed by a Board of Directors of 10 individuals.
The Friends of The Big Fresno is committed to serving the rich and diverse communities that comprise our city. By being located in a traditionally underserved section of Fresno – Southeast – our focus is geared toward providing children and their families an experience they might not otherwise have access to.
