THE BFPA will accept donations and seek grant funding to preserve, enhance, and protect the physical facilities of The Blandford Fair, including the grounds and buildings at the fairgrounds in Blandford, Massachusetts.

The BFPA board of directors may elect to accept donations of funds, stocks, bonds, or real property and such donations will be noted as donations to a 501(c)(3) organization for tax purposes. The BFPA may also elect to create special restricted funding categories for specific projects based upon a specific need or upon request by a major donor.
