FAQ

Questions sponsors usually ask before they say yes

Where should I start if I do not know the right sponsorship amount yet?

Start with Sponsor Concierge or the sponsor levels chart. Those two pages make it easier to compare benefits and decide whether you need a custom package or a straightforward contribution path.

Can I support a specific event or venue instead of the festival generally?

Yes. Sponsor Concierge is the best place to review event-specific needs, venue support, and card-level opportunities tied to active festival programming.

Do you accept in-kind support and deliverable-based help?

Yes. The festival can review in-kind contributions and scoped deliverables such as hospitality, printing, logistics, media, and production support.

How quickly will someone follow up after I submit interest or a plan?

The sponsor team generally follows up within one to two business days with the next best action, recommended options, or a request for more detail.
