Is sponsorship the same as making a donation?
Not necessarily. Sponsorship generally involves a defined
relationship in which the sponsor may receive recognition,
visibility, activation opportunities, or other agreed
benefits. Donations and sponsorships may therefore be
structured differently.
Do you have fixed sponsorship prices?
Sponsorship opportunities may vary by program, campaign,
event, experience, audience, duration, and level of
involvement. Final sponsorship commitments are determined
as part of the sponsorship discussion and agreement.
Can we sponsor a specific CFC program?
Potentially, yes. Program-specific sponsorship opportunities
may be available depending on the initiative, timing,
program needs, and sponsorship fit.
Can we sponsor a cruise experience?
Selected cruise experiences may offer sponsorship
opportunities connected to programming, participant
engagement, events, communications, or other approved
elements of the experience.
Can sponsorship benefits be customized?
In appropriate situations, sponsorship benefits may be
developed around the specific opportunity and sponsor
objectives, subject to CFC approval and the applicable
sponsorship agreement.
Can a foundation or nonprofit organization become a sponsor?
Sponsorship opportunities may be considered for companies,
foundations, institutions, nonprofit organizations,
associations, and other qualified entities when the
relationship aligns with the CFC mission and applicable
program requirements.
Do you offer multi-year partnerships?
Longer-term or multi-program partnerships may be considered
for organizations interested in a broader strategic
relationship with Cruising for Causes.
