Sponsorships for Events
Requisitions of sponsorships must include:
Quote outlining the details of the sponsorship (including cost, time period, deliverables, etc.)Â in order to ensure there is a record of the agreement between your office and the organization/vendor. Some vendors (e.g. conferences) have a website explaining sponsorship levels and the associated deliverables. A screenshot of this may be included with a quote to outline deliverables. This is so we have the proper documentation of what is being procured. Details are often lacking.
** Please note that tickets, seats, and meals to an event are not acceptable line items as sponsorship deliverables. They cannot have an assigned value. Vendors sometimes offer them as a value-added option, but the sponsorship benefits cannot rely on tickets/seats/meals.
Approval by a dean, VP, provost (or their authorized delegates), or the president (per Sponsorship policy)
Documentation or a statement explaining the business purpose of the sponsorship, including its anticipated benefit to the University (per Sponsorship policy)
Â
All creative and branding for the sponsorship must be sent to University Communications for review before it is sent to the organization/vendor.
As an FYI, departments are allowed sponsor student organizations
