Founded in 2003, the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the cherished memories and traditions uniquely found at the Kansas State Fair and its year-round events on the Kansas State Fairgrounds. As a self-supporting fee-fund state agency, the Kansas State Fair relies on minimal state funding. Despite its rich history, the fair requires additional funds for upgrading aging facilities, constructing new ones, and supporting educational programs, all while preserving the timeless traditions of the Kansas State Fair.
