Group Health Foundation - Event Sponsorships
Range: Most sponsorships are between $1,000 – $5,000 with some organizations receiving up to $25,000.
Application due: No later than 60 days before a planned event or convening
Events and convenings are important opportunities for people to connect, celebrate, plan, and learn together, and we aim to support organizations working for equity and justice to do just that through sponsorships.
Group Health Foundation is most likely to support organizations whose leadership reflects the communities they serve because we believe the people most adversely affected by racial and social inequities should be at the center of solutions.
Sponsorships are one way we meet and build relationships with organizations rooted in and reflective of their communities, and we want to learn more about yours!
Celebrations and similar events that bring people together based on culture, community, and/or personal identities to build connections and foster collective action.
Staff and leadership retreats with agendas focused on learning and action planning related to systems change or equity efforts.
Professional development to equip your staff and/or volunteers with knowledge and skills that deepen their understanding of equity and justice work, further your mission, or serve your community.
Strategic planning sessions that allow your organization to think big-picture and identify key strategies to move your work forward.
Open houses that welcome community members and other organizations to tour your space, learn about your work, and connect with your organization and one another.
Fundraisers to support and strengthen your organization’s long-term agenda.
