Special Event Sponsorship

How to Apply For Special Event Sponsorship from the DWBIA

At the DWBIA, we want to encourage as many community events as possible in Downtown Windsor. Every year, the Marketing Committee oversees the distribution of a limited pool of funds to worthy downtown events. To apply for Special Event Sponsorship, please read all the criteria below, then fill out our online form.

While we would like to support every event that takes place in our core, we do not have the financial resources to do so. With that in mind, we have established these guidelines and application instructions.

Are You Eligible for DWBIA Funding?

Only certified charities and non-profit groups will be considered for DWBIA Event Sponsorship.

The DWBIA does not distribute funds to individuals.

The sponsorship amount is subject to the DWBIA’s Marketing Committee’s discretion, and has been capped at $500 per event.

Your downtown event must:
    
Take place within the current boundaries of the DWBIA
   
Promote the downtown/city centre
   
Create foot traffic in the downtown core
