But there are plenty of local/regional opportunities. In MichLUG, we have
done space and castle displays at science fiction conventions and some
members have done a fundraiser for a local church with train, space, and
castle. It's just a matter of getting in touch with people with like
interests and doing some footwork in finding places to display.

maybe lugnet.org? crossposted there since it does seem like a topic that
might be of some interest to organizations everywhere
