Community Sponsorships

Creating Community Sponsorships/Partnerships

Events that can positively impact Framingham State University (FSU) and its communities may be eligible for sponsorship/partnership with the university. To ensure opportunities strongly align with FSU’s mission, the university has established a set of guidelines and a Sponsorship Request Form. Please note that any new request for sponsorship and/or funding from Framingham State University must be completed at least 90 days before the event so that we can adequately evaluate the opportunity.

Before starting your request, please ensure the sponsorship or event meets one or more of the following:

  • Aligns with the FSU Mission Statement · Aligns with an FSU Strategic Goal or Core Value
  • Encourages collaboration, partnerships, community development, government relations, equity and inclusion, and outreach
  • Meets organizational positioning and current focus areas
  • May increase awareness, name recognition, and student enrollment

  • Increases external support, stewards current donors, cultivates new sources of future philanthropic support, and supports funders’ initiatives

     

Where to Start

  1. Review the Instructions and Selection Process
  2. Fill out and finalize a Sponsorship Request Form (Deadlines: January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st)

  3. Submissions must be received 90 days before the event or initiative date for consideration.

     

FSU Event/Sponsorship Selection Process

The process to approve an event or sponsorship can be simple, as long as the opportunity aligns with FSU’s mission, a strategic goal, or a core value.

All sponsorship requests undergo a formal review process by the FSU Sponsorship Committee and the Vice President for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement before advancing to the Board of Trustees for approval during full board meetings. 

As a publicly supported academic institution, Framingham State University does not support political action committees, ballot initiatives, or political campaigns.
