At the University of Oregon, we value partnerships that foster community engagement, advance our institutional priorities, and create meaningful impact. Each year, we sponsor a select number of events and organizations that align with the university’s mission and contribute to these goals.
The university’s sponsorship committee carefully considers sponsorship requests through an annual application process. When applying, please consider the time of your application and the timing of the requested needs. Applications are accepted through February for the upcoming fiscal year (July–June), with sponsorship commitments finalized by May. If you are seeking a new sponsorship, please plan accordingly.
