Worlds of Fun Fundraising Opportunities

Your non-profit organization can raise a lot of money fundraising at Worlds of Fun!

All donations will be made directly to the non-profit organization. A current W-9 Form (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification Form) must be on file before a check can be sent.

Most shifts will be in the Food & Beverage division working at one of our catered group picnics, restaurants, snack stands, or specialty food carts. Organizations might also be scheduled in other areas such as \Park Services, Haunt, and Great Pumpkin Fest. Organizations may put in a request as to where they would like to work, however, they will be assigned jobs based on  business needs.

Requests for exceptions to Cedar Fair Appearance Standards for religious beliefs, or questions regarding the accommodation of medical restrictions, must be directed to a Human Resources representative.
