Sponsorship Guidelines
About Sponsorships
Each year, the Mary Black Foundation sponsors a variety of events that help us achieve our vision of a welcoming and connected community where all residents can achieve health and well-being. The Foundation sets aside a small amount of approximately $20,000 annually to support these community events through our sponsorship.
Because of the number of events we can sponsor each year is limited, priority will be given to events that:
- Bring community members together, are inclusive, and free to attend.
- Promote health and well-being of Spartanburg residents.
- Align with our focus on young children and their families.
- Provide education or training to Spartanburg-based individuals or organizations working to improve the health and well-being of young children and their families.
Approved sponsorships typically range from $1,000-$2,500 depending on the size of the event, the number of people reached, and the benefits associated with the sponsorship.
The Foundation does not sponsor:
X Religious or partisan events.
X School groups, teams, bands, or choirs.
X Individuals for any purpose.
