When planning events/activities, departments and programs at CWU often provide sponsorship packages. Sponsorship packages are where the expectation of return benefits becomes an incentive for the entity to make a payment for an event/activity. Examples of return benefits include any item of value, such as: a booth or table at an event/activity; tickets to an event/activity; advertising; and name and logo recognition.
Planned events/activities or programs can have a variety of names: fundraiser, conference, symposium, academic competition, programs, lecture series, etc.
Departments and programs may solicit sponsorships for a variety of reasons that support their mission. The accounting for sponsorship payments by the CWU Foundation differs by the nature of the sponsorship.
If your department or program is engaged in planning events/activities that involve soliciting sponsorships, paid registrations, and recognition activities, please:
- Submit a sponsorship form and
- Include a copy of the sponsorship agreement and
- Include the revenue (check, credit card payment) for deposit with the CWU Foundation.
For questions, please contact the CWU Foundation at 963-2760.
