Sponsorship, requesting contribution
What is it?
With sponsorship, we want to give a heart to event organizers. In return, we expect the organizers of a sponsored event to use our logo and or name in communications surrounding the event. Making (admission) tickets available is also an example of a quid pro quo.
Events that fit within the sponsorship policy generally have a supra-municipal appeal and attract (many) interested parties, including those from outside the municipal boundaries. Sponsorship is explicitly not intended to support events financially. It is not a financial contribution or a disguised subsidy that is provided as an expense allowance or to balance the budget of an event.
How it works
Are you organizing an event or an event in the municipality of Aalten that is open to the public, is this event aimed at a relatively large audience and contributes to improving the identity of the municipality of Aalten, then you can apply for a sponsorship contribution. The sponsorship amount is € 250 per year per event. We make € 3,000 available annually. The application must be submitted at least one month before the start of the event. Applications are evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. We will make agreements with you about how you will use our logo or name in the communication around your event.
The requests below are not eligible for sponsorship:
- Jubilee celebrations and/or anniversary expenses of associations etc. An anniversary can be seen coming, money can be set aside for this.
- Requests of too general a nature such as Easter fires, St. Nicholas parades and Christmas markets.
- Requests mainly aimed at collecting for charities. Many charity events are organized in the municipality of Aalten. Sponsorship is not intended to support charity actions.
