Key Information for non-monetary sponsorship program

  • Submissions are open year‑round through a rolling application process.

  • Apply at least one month before your event begins.

    • Applicants must be in good standing from previous participations on La Sala programs to be considered for a non-monetary sponsorship.

  • Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee of arts professionals and community representatives that includes the board of La Sala NW and its Executive Director. Each year, the committee considers racial equity, geographic diversity, and aims to highlight a range of disciplines and practices.

    Projects that La Sala sponsors must meet one or more of these four sponsorship criteria:

    1. Projects that expand definitions of Latine/x art and artists in the Pacific Northwest.

    2. Projects that create Latine/x community building (and/or intergenerational community building) through the arts.

    3. Projects that support the continuation of Latine/x artistic traditions and folklore.

    4. Projects that will create platforms for Latine/x artists to grow at critical moments in their careers.

  • Applications will be juried with the following criteria in mind:

    • Applicants can articulate how their project advances La Sala's mission and at least one of La Sala’s four sponsorship criteria.

    • Applicants have a clear understanding of what they need to execute their project successfully, or a demonstrated history of artwork/projects.

    • Applicants can describe how a sponsorship from La Sala will be beneficial for their project.

  • By accepting sponsorship from La Sala, recipients agree to uphold all of the following requirements:

    • Recipients agree that La Sala will not provide any financial support for their event or project.

    • Recipients agree to acknowledge La Sala as the sponsor of the funded event and to display our logo and link to our website in all printed and online publicity materials, including social media, posters, email communications, and other promotional channels.

      • This acknowledgment must appear in all materials released before the event takes place to ensure visibility to attendees and the community, not added retroactively.

      • Recipients will receive a media package from La Sala including our logo and other useful materials for promotion.

    • Recipients must submit an event report within 4 weeks of the event. The report must include the number of attendees (ideally documented by a verifiable method, not an estimate), the number of participating artists, proof of funding acknowledgment in digital and print publicity, and three to five digital photos or videos of the event or artwork. This information helps La Sala report back to our donors and funders.

    • Failure to follow any of these requirements will automatically disqualify recipients from receiving future sponsorship or funding from La Sala.

    • La Sala reserves the right to revise, update, or change these requirements at any time to ensure our sponsorship processes remain accurate and aligned with organizational needs.
