The Dutchess County Fairgrounds is pleased to consider a donation request from eligible organizations.
Please note the following guidelines on our donation program:

• The Fairgrounds only makes donations to organizations that are certified as a non-profit under section 501(c)(3) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code. The Fairgrounds requires the IRS’s determination letter as proof of 501(c)(3) status.
• Our customary donation is 4 single-day admission tickets.
• The request must be received at least four weeks prior to the event date.
• One request per organization will be accepted within a calendar year.
• Requests are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Dutchess County Fairgrounds has a limited allocation of admission tickets for donations, and due to the large volume of requests that are received, it may not be possible to support all requests.
• Donations must be picked up at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds Administration Building unless other arrangements are made.
• Donations will only be released to an employee of the requesting organization. When picking up tickets bring a copy of the donation confirmation email sent from the Dutchess County Fair.
• Tickets for grandstand concerts or other special events are not available for donation. The Dutchess County Fairgrounds does not make monetary donations.
