Sponsorships Program
First 5 Inyo County is pleased to announce the availability of funding for event Sponsorships.

A Sponsorship Request can be categorized as an opportunity for the Commission to support a particular event with the condition that such event and/or host organization meet at least one of the Commission’s Goals and Objectives within the Strategic Plan. Applicants may submit a sponsorship request to the Commission for up to $500.00.

All funds allocated under the Sponsorship Program must be targeted to First 5 Inyo County children ages 0-5 and their families and be in accordance with the Strategic Results in the Commission’s Strategic Plan. http://www.ccfc.ca.gov/inyo/pdf/2003_Strategic.pdf

A specific event can be funded only once in a 12-month period. Funding is not intended for on-going program and activities, but for one-time only support. Sponsorship per year shall not exceed $500.00 per event. An agency may submit multiple sponsorship applications, however no single agency may receive more than $1,000 in total funding from the program in any 12-month period.
