What is Sponsorship?
Sponsorship is an effective marketing and communication tool used by many businesses,
organizations and government agencies, regardless of their size. Sponsorships are not
donations, the City expects their sponsorship will provide a measurable return or benefit
for the residents or businesses of Yorkville.
The general aim of sponsorship is to raise the profile of the sponsoring organization, to
sell products or services and to reach particular target audiences. Sponsorship also
promotes a positive awareness of the organization with residents, customers, potential
customers and the community.
Sponsorships are structured in the form of direct financial assistance, or "in kind"
sponsorship, which involves the sponsor providing equipment or resources. In kind may
be limited due to available equipment, manpower, or other City required events, work, or
projects. The affected Department for the resource allocation will be monitored or
determined by the Department Head.
Sponsorship Guidelines
The United City of Yorkville receives a number of sponsorship requests, which
unfortunately makes it difficult for us to accept or sponsor every event. We have outlined
a series of guidelines to help with the selection of sponsorship events. Guidelines are
updated annually and may change from year to year based on the mission and goals of
the City Council. All sponsorship requests and proposals shall be submitted to the
Human Resource Commission for review with a recommendation to City Council.
Sponsorship amounts are awarded on a first come, first served basis, based on available
funds within the fiscal year budget. Amounts will not be more than $250.00 for any single
event. This policy does not apply to events in which the City is a joint partner, such as
the 4 of July or Riverfront Festival.
Sponsorship Categories

community, social or health, education or sporting activities you will need to submit a
