The two week timeframe for Alternative Gift Fair donations has closed. If you missed it and you still wish to donate, please contact the organizations directly and arrange payment. Thanks to all who participated this year and we hope to see you next year! -The IAGF Committee

“The mission of the Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair is to provide our community with a meaningful alternative to holiday gift giving, one which celebrates personal charity, community health and well being, and the preservation of the planet.”

The Fair offers holiday shoppers an opportunity to choose gifts of charitable donations, rather than more “stuff,” and last year raised $68,000 in contributions, and over $300,000 since 2004, all of which went to local non-profit organizations.

The event is sponsored by the Center for Transformative Action, with generous support from:

Tompkins Community Action, Alternatives Federal Credit Union, Tompkins County Public Library and Acorn Designs.
