Donation and Sponsorship Policy

Our policy helps manage the hundreds of requests we receive each year. All requests must be submitted via the provided form at least 8 weeks before the event. We will not review requests sent by phone, email, mail, fax, or in person without a completed form.

 

Donations and sponsorships are awarded based on the annual budget for these activities. A donation or sponsorship does not imply support for all organizations within the same sector. Requests are not automatically renewed each year; a new application is required. Only the board can authorize exceptions to this policy.

What is a sponsorship?

A sponsorship is essentially a donation (in products or money) provided by an organization in exchange for visibility. It’s about developing strategic business partnerships that enhance a company’s presence in the community

Selection criteria

Here are the criteria taken into account when an application undergoes evaluation.
– Sponsor visibility during the event
– Exposure before, during and after the event
– Event location
– Number of participants expected
– No other manufacturer of dairy products may be granted visibility
– The cost of the sponsorship and the cost of the company’s involvement
– We give priority to donations of cheese
– The requesting organization must provide evidence of the visibility granted to Fromagerie Bergeron in return for the requested donation (photos, agreed upon publications)
– All material or publications used to identify Fromagerie Bergeron or its products must be approved by the marketing team prior to publication/broadcast.
– The requesting organization must provide a detailed post-mortem on the activity.
– We favour foundations, associations and recognized bodies that act as advocates for causes rather than independent events that support these same causes.

Exclusions

The following are automatically excluded from the donation and sponsorship policy:
– Individual projects
– Religious organizations, political or activist groups, and controversial organizations;
– Balls and graduation albums
– Graduation proms and yearbooks
– Activities for social clubs (Christmas holidays)
– Videos or books
– Requests made without a completed form
– Late requests (less than 8 weeks prior to the event)
