Hosting a Gifts That Give Hope fair is easy and fun! Any group, large or small, can be a host.

Why host a fair?
Gifts That Give Hope fairs draw communities together for a positive, non-commercial, and altruistic purpose. Shoppers enjoy a pleasant, stress-free holiday experience and appreciate learning about nonprofits and their good work. The fairs give parents an opportunity to demonstrate the true spirit of giving to their children. Participating nonprofits obviously benefit from receiving additional exposure and donations. Finally, gift recipients receive joy and satisfaction knowing that a “gift of hope” was specially chosen in their honor.

Who can host a fair?
Civic groups, giving circles, churches, and other community groups are perfect hosts. However, any group of committed individuals can easily organize a fair.  It could be an Eagle Scout project, office community service event, or neighborhood get-together. We recommend having a fair director, 2-4 committee leaders, plus event-day volunteers who could be recruited from the community.

How do you host a fair?
Important tasks include securing a location, contacting nonprofits, and advertising. Gifts That Give Hope will provide an online host resource area to help organizations host fairs in their community. Click here to see a descriptive list of the host resources offered by Gifts That Give Hope.
