Community Engagement and Sponsorships

The University of Idaho often sponsors community events or initiatives. Our goal is to pair the U of I experience with other strong brands, increasing the reputation of both entities and building positive engagement within the community. We want to be more than just a name on a sign: We want to bring a bit of ourselves to the event.

Selected sponsorships are chosen based on their alignment with the university's mission and vision, reach and overlap with U of I target audiences.

Getting Started

If you are interested in sponsoring an event, please work with your marketing manager or the marketing team.

How do I get my event sponsored?

If you are an external organization or community looking to have an event or activity sponsored by the University of Idaho, email marketing@uidaho.edu and provide the following information:

• Event or Initiative Title
• Contact Name
• Contact Email
• Contact Phone Number
• Desired Investment ($) Amount
• Message Reach (Event Attendance plus Promotional Reach)
• Audience Size and Demographics
• Event Location
• Outline of Proposed Benefits for U of I

Sponsorships for the upcoming year are selected in October each year. Plan to have your event’s details to the marketing team for review on or before Sept. 1 each year.

Units may also sponsor events tied to their area of focus, independent of central funding. If your proposal is related to a specific academic area, refine and send your proposal to the appropriate marketing and communications manager.
