Our rules require that all profits on sales be donated to a non-profit organization. This year, a total of 343 volunteers of all ages took part. This is an increase over previous years, where typically about half are first-timers. Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and sponsors, we have been able to keep the costs of producing the EarthFair surprisingly low. This allows us to make space available for small organizations that generally could not afford exhibitions of this size.
Large organizations pay substantially more for exhibit space, which also helps defray costs.
