Sponsorship Considerations
When considering sponsorship requests from 501(c)(3) nonprofit or community organizations, we partner with organizations and efforts primarily focused on education, diversity and that support education of students and faculty.
Definition of sponsorship: financial or in-kind support of an event, organization or activity that is given in exchange for acknowledgement, recognition or promotion; or a university representative in attendance.
As a rule, we do not provide sponsorship funds for the following:
- Organizations whose programs discriminate based on race/ethnicity, color, national origin, ancestry, sex/gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital/parental status, pregnancy/childbirth or related conditions, religion, creed, age, disability, genetic information, military service/veteran status, disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, other protected veteran or any other characteristic protected by law.
- Political or labor organizations
- Religious-based organizations
- Sororities and Fraternities
- Individuals
- Athletic groups or activities, including charity-benefit sporting events
- Walks, rides, runs, etc.
- Bands or choirs
- Capital campaigns/Foundations
- Organizations providing services primarily to animals
- Multi-year commitments
