Community Event Sponsorships

Each year, we devote a small portion of our operating budget to support area nonprofit organizations’ events. Event sponsorships also offer our staff and volunteers the opportunity to engage and partner with your team, and to learn more about your organization.

How can my organization apply for an Event Sponsorship?

We review and decline / award sponsorship requests on a first come, first serve basis beginning each fiscal year start of April 1, so the earlier you apply, the better! Our easy-to-use form captures all of information needed for us to make a funding decision. Once a request has been submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and we will notify you of our funding decision within 5-7 business days after submission.

Strategic priority areas:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion—events that celebrate, uplift, or advance equitable opportunities and representation for all communities.

Post-secondary education and economic mobility—events that promote access to, success in, or awareness of higher education and training pathways.

A strong start for all children—events that support early childhood development, education, and the well-being of young children.

Arts and creativity—events that foster creativity, support artists, and contribute to a vibrant local arts culture.

How much money can my organization receive?

You can apply for any amount, but our awards are typically between $500 and $1,500.
