Harnessing the people power of the Expo Movement

The World’s Fair Fund, is the financial support program of the World’s Fair Bid Committee Educational Fund, a public charity headquartered in Minnesota, USA. The Fund assists local, national, and global campaigns and projects designed to use mega-events, like World Fairs and International Expositions, to advance ecological sustainability, climate stabilization, and human security.

Some of our most important initiatives are public-/private partnerships that fund integrated approaches to delivering on the 17 goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs. This special SDG-focused work is financed through private “green” bonds and development grants designed to simultaneously advance economic and social development while reducing existing public and personal debt. These development partnerships are coordinated via a special Sustainable Development Goals Implementation Taskforce aligned with the United Nations that involves leaders from every corner of the planet and all economic, social, and governance (ESG) sectors.

This is the Time

SDGs X EXPOs

As we travel our planet and connect with leaders from other countries and cultures we are continually reminded about how many smart people are focused on a good and healthy outcome for our collective “people” and planet.

No matter what language, political, cultural or religious belief system they espouse, almost without exception they are focused on how we can all support our populations to get from today into a safe and secure version of the future.

We all know there are many challenges and conflicts in our world today. We also know there are solutions available now and that are “in the works” by the greatest hearts and minds of our time.

Here at the World’s Fair Fund we’re focused on collecting and convening people and organizations focused on the SDGs. If our efforts align with yours, we invite you to connect and collaborate, ALL are WELCOME!

The World’s Fair Fund promotes international expositions – both in the US and beyond. We do this in three ways.

First, we encourage governments to be actively involved in supporting international expositions, including membership in the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE).

Second, we promote private-sector participation in expos.

Third, we support efforts to bring officially sanctioned expos and exhibitions to the U.S.A.
