Corporate Sponsorship Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
These Terms & Conditions apply to all organizations and individuals (the “Sponsor”) providing financial or in-kind support to the Filipino-American Association of the Tri-Cities (the “Organization”). By completing a sponsorship payment, signing a sponsorship agreement, or providing in-kind support, the Sponsor agrees to the following:
1. Recognition and Benefits
The Organization agrees to provide the specific benefits (e.g., logo placement, event tickets, social media mentions) associated with the selected sponsorship tier as outlined in our current Sponsorship Prospectus. All logo files must be provided by the Sponsor in a high-resolution digital format.
2. Tax-Deductible Status
Fil-Am of Tri-Cities is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Sponsorships are generally tax-deductible minus the fair market value of any goods or services received by the Sponsor (such as gala tickets or meals). The Organization will provide a written acknowledgment for tax purposes following the receipt of support.
3. Use of Intellectual Property
- Sponsor Logo: The Sponsor grants the Organization a limited, non-exclusive license to use their name and logo for promotional materials related specifically to the sponsored event or program.
- Organization Logo: The Sponsor may not use the Fil-Am of Tri-Cities name or logo for any purpose without prior written consent from the Board of Directors.
4. Exclusivity and Non-Endorsement
Unless explicitly stated in a separate, written custom agreement, sponsorships are non-exclusive. Acceptance of a sponsorship does not imply an endorsement by the Organization of the Sponsor’s products, services, or political affiliations.
5. Cancellation and Refunds
Sponsorship commitments are generally non-refundable as funds are immediately allocated to event overhead and programming costs. If an event is cancelled due to Force Majeure (e.g., extreme weather, public health orders), the Organization will work with the Sponsor to apply the support to a future date or an alternative program.
6. Compliance with Values
The Organization reserves the right to decline or return any sponsorship from entities whose missions, products, or public actions conflict with our core values, nonprofit status, or community standards.
7. Limitation of Liability
The Organization is not liable for any lost profits or indirect damages resulting from a failure to provide a specific benefit, provided a good-faith effort was made to fulfill the sponsorship agreement.
