501c3 Information for Cultural Diversity Foundation (Click Here)
You or your business/organization can help the Cultural Diversity Foundation (CDF) achieve its goals of raising $250,000 in funding and awarding scholarships for several students to attend the college of their choice by becoming a CDF sponsor. We offer several levels of sponsorship, each with its own set of benefits.
Sponsorship of this event would give your organization the opportunity to be recognized as a corporate sponsor and expose itself to potential customers who can remember, and will hopefully ask for your business when your kind of services are needed. Your organization could also underwrite a scholarship through the Cultural Diversity Foundation, which is another venue for great exposure.
Additionally, you receive the long-term benefits of increased awareness of your organization and its services, the indelible impression of your commitment to the community, and the achievement of students seeking educational and professional development.
A list of current and past sponsors is available here.
