Sponsorship of Business Awards, Conferences & Events

This funding category focuses on continuing the Local Buying Foundation’s support for local business awards, conferences and events which occur on an annual basis, and which do not need to complete the full application / approval process. Sponsorship applications must include a sponsorship prospectus showing event details and the expected event outcomes.

Assessment is made with consideration  given to length of the event, number of attendees, and relevance to Local Buying Foundation intent, as outlined in the Sponsorship Guidelines.

This page is currently undergoing maintenance and not all current funded projects in this category will necessarily be represented yet below. Thank you for your understanding.

If you would like to know about specific funded projects, please reach out to the Local Buying Foundation Project Officers.
