Sponsorship support is reserved for “parent” organizations rather than individual elements of an organization. The foundation does not provide support to the following types of events:

• Individual participation, endeavors, or needs.
• Gift cards of any kind.
• National, Local, and Industry specific conferences
• Scouting organization, booster clubs, and specific school PTAs.
• Sports teams or leagues.
• Political action committees, causes, or lobbying organizations.
• Individual pre-K-12 public schools or school programs. In this case, the "parent" school district is eligible for support.
• Programs outside the communities we serve.
• Travel expenses of any kind including bus or car rentals, travel to and from conferences or events, reimbursements for activities, hotel, food and other hospitably expenses.
• Fundraising and cause walks, runs, bike rides, etc.
• T-shirts, uniforms or other collateral.
• Advertisements in programs, banners, yearbooks, and news publications interdependent of an event.
• Animal Welfare events

In some cases, organizations may choose to invite Credit Union representatives, our philanthropic partners, and other members of Nusenda’s community to participate in sponsored events. Please indicate if and how you would like us to participate, in addition to a sponsorship contribution, in your application.

Note: indicating that you do or do not want Credit Union participation has no bearing on the likelihood of a financial contribution — we simply encourage you to share all the relevant information up front so we can be good partners.

Groups who request funding through Community Rewards^® must be charitable 501(c)(3)-eligible nonprofit organizations who have applied through our application process. Community Rewards beneficiaries are applying for support of long-term programs and organizational support.

Organizations are invited to submit one sponsorship application at a time. Organizations may only receive sponsorship funds for one event per calendar year.
