1889 Foundation makes an effort to minimize sponsorships so that it can use its resources to drive focused improvements in health.
On a very limited basis, the Foundation may consider sponsoring an educational event or conference that is located in Cambria or Somerset County, or provides information/resources to a large number of Cambria or Somerset County residents, and meets the following criteria:
- promotes the Foundation’s focus areas.
- is collaboratively organized by multiple community partners.
- is part of a larger plan to improve community health status.
- provides positive public awareness and visibility to our priority areas, already has substantial community support and involvement, and will reach a large audience of community members.
- is requested by an organization that is professionally managed with a proven track record of financial stewardship.
1889 Foundation will not sponsor fundraising events or purely social events.
