DVBIA-Sponsored Festivals & Events
Sponsorship Guidelines
The DVBIA is a big supporter of events and festivals that bring residents, families and visitors together downtown to take part in themed festivals, one-off or ongoing events. And, given the DVBIA’s small staff complement, it’s particularly supportive of events that require little staff time but deliver big impact.
It’s our intention to play an active role in various events that allow us to promote and brand both “downtown” in general and “the DVBIA” specifically at a significant level, while furthering our unique mission.
As the DVBIA is accountable to both its board of directors and its membership, it gives particular attention to events that can show measurable return on investment and/or tangible results.
As budgets allow, it is the DVBIA’s intent to sponsor as many worthy events as possible while ensuring a particular event it sponsors is not reliant on the DVBIA for more than 25% of its overall operating budget.
