FREE VENDOR RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHARITIES
Nassau County Fairs is a unique for-profit company.
Our charitable and nonprofit associates have provided us with an unprecedented number of quality locations that have ever been given to any one company on Long Island.
In order for us to be able to make the necessary donations to our associates we must use these locations wisely and efficiently.
Nassau County Fairs and its vendors must be profitable.
It takes a lot of money to market and promote every one of our fairs so that as many people as possible are aware of and attend the events throughout the year.
To that end we currently charge a rental rate to all of our vendors that is well below the industry average.
So, because we are already donating to the charities and nonprofits of our choice, we cannot offer free space to other organizations that wish to participate as vendors.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
By our standards, a charity does not have paid employees.
A charity is run exclusively by volunteers.
Charitable organizations are welcome to email us their request for free space shop@nassaucountyfairs.com.
If we can accommodate the request here are the requirements:
No items are offered for sale.
No donations are solicited or accepted.
No election politicking.
Must be in office as we do not allow running candidates to have a booth.
Your booth is open for all advertised hours.
The free space is limited to literature and signage to create awareness, education, and involvement for the organization.
You must comply with all vendor set up and break down requirements.
Under no circumstances are individuals or groups permitted to distribute literature without our express permission.
