DescSince its inception in 1886, the State Fair of Texas has celebrated all things Texan by promoting agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment. The 2022 State Fair of Texas welcomed more than 2.5 million fairgoers through the gates. Agriculture serves not only as a pillar of this organization but as a fundamental feature of the Lone Star State and its history. The State Fair of Texas offers a variety of interactive exhibits focusing on agriculture and livestock - implementing hands-on activities that are both enjoyable and informative. Activities range from feeding furry friends at the petting zoo to learning about different livestock species during daily guided tours through the livestock barns. In addition, each year, thousands of students from around the state work diligently in preparation for the competitive livestock events and leadership contests at the State Fair. The largest of these events, the annual Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction, celebrates the agricultural heritage of our great state, while also providing scholarships and prizes to students all over Texas. The Fair's educational initiatives extend far beyond our 24-day exposition. With education at the very core of our foundation, the State Fair of Texas continues to serve as a showcase for Texas history, agriculture, and the community that connects it all. The Fair expands its educational initiatives to the classroom with an innovative curriculum, created in partnership with Big Thought. The online curriculum combines the unique culture of the Fair with Texas history and agriculture, incorporating it into a TEKS-aligned program that focuses on STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) for grades 4 through 12. With a focus on educating visitors about Texas history and agriculture, the Fair offers a unique experience that is both informative and entertaining. As a long-standing Dallas institution, the State Fair of Texas has a distinctive appreciation for the local support that makes such a big event possible every year. With the ultimate goal of having a positive community impact, the Fair aims to give back through our partnerships with local organizations and initiatives. The Fair continues to expand outreach programs while placing a special priority on promoting community involvement at the local level. Our impact in the community focuses on three areas that complement our mission - social capital, human capital, and financial capital. In addition, the Fair seeks to assist food insecurity in the South Dallas/Fair Park area through its Big Tex Urban Farms initiative. Each year, the State Fair of Texas brings guests from all walks of life together for 24 days in celebration of the Lone Star State's evolving culture. Beginning in 1886 as a local gathering place for people to share ideas and learn from new cultures, the annual state fair and exposition in Fair Park became a breeding ground for Texas education and innovation. 2022's theme encompassed one of the many great things the Fair is known for - amazing food. The 2022 State Fair of Texas, themed "Treats of Texas," celebrated something our Fair has become known for: amazing food. When you ask folks what their favorite part of the State Fair is, without skipping a beat, many will answer FOOD. As an event that blends more than 2.5 million people from all walks of life, our wide variety of food represents just that. The 2022 State Fair of Texas made a difference in more ways that we can count. Below are just a few of the noteworthy successes from this year's exposition: - The State Fair welcomed more than 2.5 million fairgoers through the gates; - Approximately $93 million was generated in gross coupon sales for food, beverage, and rides; - More than 55,000 military members and 20,000 first responders used the special daily discount introduced during the 2021 fair. - More than 58,000 people enjoyed the return of 13 performances of the State Fair of Texas Rodeo presented by United Ag & Turf in the historic Fair Park Coliseum - the home of the Original National Finals Rodeo; - Nearly 1.9 million free admission tickets were given to students throughout North Texas. In addition, more than 280,000 teachers received a voucher for free admission; - Community members got crafty with nearly 10,000 entries in the Fair's Creative Arts competitions. More than 3,800 ribbons were awarded to folks celebrating their creativity this year. - More than 16,000 livestock entries were entered and processed by our team leading up to the Fair; - Ag Awareness Day gathered 166 chapters of 4-H, FFA, and FCCLA to participate in the canned food drive, donating more than 28,500 pounds of food to the North Texas Food Bank; - On Friday, October 7, the 74th Annual Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction raised a record of more than $1.9 million for youth livestock exhibitors; - The Grand Champion Market Steer of the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction was sold to the Big Tex Champion Club for 130,000; - Free concerts were once again held on the Chevrolet Main Stage, with Ashanti, La Fiera de Ojinaga, Trace Adkins, Night Ranger, and La Mafia drawing the largest crowds; - More than 240 people were involved in several community events sponsored by the community affairs team of the State Fair of Texas, which were held throughout the 24-day run. - The Fair hosted the Fifth Annual Juanita Craft Humanitarian Awards, awarding six individuals following in Mrs. Craft's footsteps, making a positive impact in their community and in civil rights efforts; - Sensory-Friendly Mornings were held for the fourth time this year for all three Wednesdays of the Fair - reducing noise and lights across the grounds to accommodate those with sensory-related concerns; - Nearly 131,000 people visited the Hall of State to enjoy two exhibits, Mavs Vault and 100 Years, 100 Stories: 100th Anniversary of the Dallas Historical Society; - Shopping at the Fair included 200 commercial exhibit locations across the fairgrounds, including 35 new shopping booths this year; - Forty-seven events were hosted at the Briscoe Carpenter Livestock Center throughout the Fair's 24-day run; - In 2022, the Fair awarded more $1.2 million in new college scholarships to 200 graduating seniors throughout the Lone Star State; - Following the close of the exposition, the Fair holds a food drive where concessionaires can donate their unused food items to local food banks. The 2022 food drive collected donations from 23 vendors, representing 86 booths throughout the fairgrounds. Donations were divided up and shared amongst six South Dallas/Fair Park area organizations. These organizations included: Cornerstone Community Kitchen, Empowering the Masses, Inspired Vision Compassion Center, Jubilee Park Community Center, Living Word Harvest, and T.R. Hoover Community Development Center; On top of the initiatives and donation programs that take place during the annual exposition, the Fair works to maintain a year-round presence in our community. Through new and existing efforts in 2022, the Fair was able to contribute more than $618,000 in community support, which included sponsorships, cash grants, program funding of goods, in-kind donations, and investments made through our signature programs, benefiting 83 South Dallas/Fair Park area organizations and several agricultural-related programs across the state. In addition to offering financial resources, our Community Affairs department connected local organizations to foster community relationships, form partnerships, and develop initiatives that work to make a positive impact. Our ability to serve and continue growing our scope of service is strengthened through the support of our fairgoers, relationships with like-minded organizations, and dedication of our State Fair team. The Fair's Big Tex Urban Farms is a mobile agriculture system comprised of portable planting beds and hydroponic systems housed in the heart of Fair Park. The mission of Big Tex Urban Farms is to create a food system that: - Invests financial and human capital into immediate Fair Park neighborhoods and companies; - Connects like-minded food-related organizations to each other; - Provides free, fresh, organic produce to entities focused on hunger issues and healthy lifestyle programs; - Adds community gardens throughout South Dallas through our "Farming Farms" program. In its seventh full year of production, the Big Tex Urban Farms system was able to donate 18,532 pounds of fresh produce to local organizations, translating to a total of 206,060 USDA servings of fresh produce. On July 15th, the Fair reached a milestone of 1 million servings of fresh produced delivered to the community. One hundred percent of the produce grown at Big Tex Urban Farms is donated to different organizations in the local community. Our work through the Farms isn't limited to what we do inside Fair Park.

ExplanationForm 990 - Schedule I, Part IV, Line 2: Supplemental Information Big Tex Scholarship Program Established in 1992, the Big Tex Scholarship Program has awarded college scholarships to thousands of students throughout the Lone Star State. Eligible recipients include graduating high school seniors around the state of Texas who have participated in competitive youth livestock events held at the State Fair, graduating seniors from six Dallas Independent School District high schools in the Fair Park area, and seasonal employees of the State Fair of Texas or their dependents. Recipients receive a $6,000 grant in total, renewable each semester if the student maintains eligibility while working towards a degree at a Texas college, university, or accredited trade school. Big Tex scholars must attend an accredited college, university, or trade school within the State of Texas. Recipients must enroll in and pass a minimum of 12 hours each semester and must achieve a minimum 2.5 GPA the first semester and a 3.0 cumulative GPA for every semester thereafter. To clarify, if recipients make below a 3.0 one semester but their cumulative GPA is still at least a 3.0, they meet the required GPA to receive funding. Recipients are required to submit their grades to the State Fair at the end of every semester by the communicated deadlines, which are also available all year long on BigTex.com/Scholarship. It is also the responsibility of the scholarship recipient to keep their contact information updated with the State Fair. All scholars also receive a season pass for life to the annual State Fair of Texas. Juanita Craft Scholarships Honoring legendary civil rights activist Juanita Craft each year, the State Fair of Texas awards multiple $6,000 scholarships to selected applicants from the following Fair Park-area high schools: Irma Lerma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School, James Madison, Lincoln, North Dallas, Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson High Schools. This scholarship is available for applicants who plan to attend an accredited two-year or four-year Texas college, university, or trade school. Youth Livestock Scholarships The State Fair of Texas awards $6,000 scholarships to selected applicants who have competed in specific competitive youth livestock events held at the State Fair.

This scholarship is available for applicants who plan to attend an accredited two-year or four-year Texas college, university, or vocational-technical school. Eligible seasonal staff are those who have completed at least three years of seasonal employment as of January 1 of the year in which the scholarship is to be awarded and have worked an average of 20 hours a week during the prior Fair. Recipients receive a $6,000 grant, renewable in pre-determined increments (paid by semester or term) if the student maintains a 3.0 GPA while working towards the completion of an eligible degree. Other Livestock Awards and Scholarships On behalf of its significant past leaders and longtime supporters, the Fair also awards additional scholarships to exemplary program recipients whose behavior honors the namesake of each opportunity. With opportunities available for both newly awarded applicants and current sophomores, selected recipients receive an additional $6,000 to be disbursed throughout the duration of their college career. Benny Clark Memorial Scholarship A strong leader in the Texas agricultural community, Benny Clark served as the former vice president of agriculture and livestock at the State Fair of Texas. This scholarship is awarded to an outstanding Youth Livestock Scholarship who is a new recipient and honors Benny's years of commitment to the State Fair. Peggy Sloan Memorial Scholarship A strong female leader, Peggy Sloan served as the former vice president of exhibits at the State Fair of Texas. This scholarship is awarded to an outstanding Juanita Craft Scholarship recipient from the Irma L. Rangel Young Women's Leadership School and honors Peggy's years of commitment to the State Fair. Terry Griffin Memorial Scholarship Serving on both the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for the State Fair of Texas, Terry Griffin was instrumental in developing the Fair's Youth Scholarship Program. This scholarship is awarded to two outstanding students - one sophomore Juanita Craft Scholarship recipient and one sophomore Youth Livestock Scholarship recipient. Clarice Tinsley Journalism Scholarship While millions of viewers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area know Clarice Tinsley for her work as a FOX4 News Anchor, the State Fair of Texas recognizes her as a longtime friend and supporter of its Scholarship Program. This scholarship is awarded to one outstanding student - a sophomore Juanita Craft Scholarship recipient who is pursuing a degree in journalism. Youth Livestock Contest Scholarships In addition to the Youth Livestock Scholarship mentioned above, the Fair also awards scholarships to Texas 4-H, FFA, and FCCLA students who have won or placed in specific youth livestock contests held during the State Fair of Texas. Scholarship awards vary by contest and placement won, with funds ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. During the annual State Fair of Texas event, approximately 170 livestock and agriculture events and leadership contests are held. Participants may receive compensation to reward placement in specific contests, ranging in amounts. These contests include but are not limited to public speaking, agriculture mechanics, AgRobotics, food, product identification, dairy judging, livestock skill-a-thons, an agriculture science fair, and the annual youth livestock auction. Community Initiatives As a long-standing Dallas institution, the State Fair of Texas has a unique appreciation for the local support that makes such a big event possible every year. With the ultimate goal of having a positive community impact, the Fair aims to give back through our partnerships with local organizations and initiatives. The Fair continues to expand outreach programs while placing a special priority on promoting community involvement at the local level. Our impact in the community focuses on three areas that complement our mission - social capital, human capital, and financial capital. In addition, the Fair seeks to assist food insecurity in the South Dallas/Fair Park area through its Big Tex Urban Farms initiative. Community Grant Funding As a neighbor in the South Dallas/Fair Park community, we are committed to supporting nonprofit organizations that are providing services in this area. We understand that these organizations, like ours, depend on year-round generosity from citizens, volunteers, corporations, and other nonprofit organizations. In order to extend our hand to the members of our community that are bringing about positive change, the State Fair of Texas offeExplanationTxt

MONTIORING AND ENFORCING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICYFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12(C): SFT performs an annual survey of its directors, officers, and key employees regarding any business or family relationships with SFT or with other of the organization's directors, officers, and key employees. Any potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by the Finance/Audit Committee which recommends any necessary corrective action to the Board of Directors.
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATIONFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15(B): SFT's independent board determines the compensation for the president using comparability data. Each employee must complete written goals and objectives for their operating area which is approved by the president. The president makes assessments of all employees' (excluding himself) performance and achievement of written goals and objectives, and their target incentive compensation percentage and makes recommendations to the finance/audit committee of the board of directors. The finance/audit committee deliberates on the recommendations and any incentive compensation for the president without State Fair management present and makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The board of directors deliberates and decides on the final State Fair management incentive compensation without management present. All such decisions of the board of directors are documented with contemporaneous minutes of its meetings. The finance/audit committee regularly requests third-party compensation studies performed by a national accounting and consulting firm to ensure the State Fair's compensation for senior staff members is within a competitive and acceptable range, in accordance with the IRS and Department of the Treasury "Rebuttable Presumption" federal regulation (26 CFR 53.4958-6). The firm provides this analysis independently under the AICPA Independence Standards."
