For resources on how to obtain sponsors, there is a Sponsorship Toolkit available from the LSU Foundation at lsufoundation.org/resources. This toolkit provides LSU process related forms and documents, communication templates, and direction for contacting, soliciting, and thanking prospective event sponsors.
Finance & Administration
Please note that as campus units seek sponsors unaffiliated with LSU for their event, whether via cash or in-kind contributions, departments should contact Finance & Administration regarding the required LSU Event Sponsorship Agreement. Once the agreement is signed, recognition for sponsors needs to be event specific through the marketing materials for the event (e.g., website, brochures, social media, promotional products, etc.) and is reviewed by Finance & Administration on a case-by-case basis.
In addition, as campus units seek promotional opportunities by becoming sponsors, the sponsorship agreement provided by the outside entity hosting the event may only be signed by the LSU Executive Vice President of Finance & Administration/CFO.
Visit the Finance & Administration website for more information.
A Note About Co-branding
LSU defines a co-brand as a partnership codified by LSU Finance & Administration where both entities are equally represented. Co-branding at the departmental level is not permitted as it can cause sponsor conflicts with existing partners. Please visit the Finance & Administration website for more information.
