SCCFF - Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation

The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded in 2002 by a group of Fair Supporters who realized that the Fairgrounds would soon be self-funded and wanted to preserve the Fairgrounds and the activities that take place on the premises. Originally named The Santa Cruz County Fair Heritage Foundation, we changed our name to the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation in January 2016. The Foundation raises funds through donations, special events, beverage sales, grants, planned giving and sponsorships. Through its community connections, it has assumed a major role in keeping the community aware of activities and improvements at the Fairgrounds.

We accomplish our mission through exhibits and interactive activities that help visitors experience daily life on farms and ranches on the Central Coast during the 1800’s and early 1900’s.
