Sponsorships

The Spartanburg County Foundation considers it a privilege to sponsor community events that support organizations serving Spartanburg County residents. The Foundation also views event sponsorship as a means to leverage its reputational capital to benefit area nonprofits in an effort to draw other potential donors to the nonprofit to support its operations, outreach, and secure additional sponsors for its events. Sponsorships also provide visibility for the Foundation based upon the benefits provided to event sponsors.

The Foundation considers sponsorship requests for events hosted by SCF mission-aligned nonprofit organizations. Please consider your organization’s alignment to the Foundation’s mission and vision before submitting a request for event sponsorship. Requests for sponsorship should be made at least sixty (60) days prior to the event.

The Spartanburg County Foundation generally limits community event sponsorships to $1,000 or under to allow us to support as many community events as possible. You may request more or less according to your sponsorship levels but please know that we try to maintain that limit.
Have you received a sponsorship for this event from the Spartanburg County Foundation within the last 5 years? Please check your response.(Required)
Please note that the Foundation rarely provides multiple, consecutive year sponsorships. Our hope is that when we do sponsor an event, event organizers will use that sponsorship to encourage new sponsors. Event organizers should not consider a Foundation sponsorship as an ongoing commitment for future sponsorships.
There may be times when the Foundation Leadership Team chooses to purchase event tickets instead of or in conjunction with a single payment sponsorship. Please include any information you have about ticket purchases for the event.
How established is your event in the community?
This does not impact the validity of your request and is merely to help us better understand the event.
This does not impact a sponsorship decision, merely helps us to plan staff calendars to meet this request if are able to do so.
