Arizona Lottery
Sponsorship Mission Statement
While the Arizona Lottery strives to maximize revenue for state programs, our passion is making Arizona a better place to live. Our goal is to partner with organizations that help people in need, improve healthcare and education, protect our natural resources, and elevate all 15 counties throughout Arizona. Our partnerships will reflect the wide variety of interests, cultures, and hope of the people of our state.
Sponsorships in FY11 included: Be a Leader Foundation (top), Verde Valley Nature Festival (center left), Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (center), Audubon Arizona (center right), Gabriel's Angels (bottom left), and the Arizona Small Business Association (bottom right).
The Arizona Lottery looks for opportunities to create a lasting presence in communities across the state. We focus on four key areas: economic/business development, education, the environment, and health and public welfare. We prefer to provide funding for named scholarships, awards, specific programs, or other sustaining initiatives. We are proud to sponsor events that reflect the diversity of Arizona’s multicultural population.
1. Sponsorship amounts range from $100 to $4,500. In return, the Lottery must receive measurable value. (See application form for details.) You may submit multiple requests, but organizations are limited to a single approved sponsorship annually.
The Arizona Lottery sponsors events in two different ways: Monetary Sponsorships and Promotional Merchandise to be used for silent auctions, raffles, event attendee giveaways, or as door prizes. All events considered for either of these sponsorships must meet the following criteria:
♦ The event must be located in the state of Arizona.
♦ The event must involve participants who are at least 21 years of age or older.
♦ The event must be open to the general public. (Individual requests and family or class reunions cannot be considered.)
The Arizona Lottery reserves the right to accept or deny any requests based on its own internal evaluation of the sponsorship's conformance to these criteria as well as its potential for maximizing the Arizona Lottery's promotional investment and branding.
The Arizona Lottery’s evaluation process for sponsorships focuses on how well a proposal fulfills the following criteria:
♦ Alignment – How your event aligns with one of our four areas of funding (economic/business development, education, the environment, and health and public welfare). All requesting organizations must directly align with one of these funding recipients to be initially considered.
♦ Audience – The Lottery evaluates the size and demographics of the audience and the likelihood of appreciation of the Arizona Lottery’s involvement and messaging.
♦ Assets – What marketing opportunities (logo recognition, print ads, banners, premium distribution, website mention, public address mention, programs, invites, etc.) or other tangible items of value are being offered to recognize the Arizona Lottery’s sponsorship?
2. Walks or runs with past registrations of at least 250 participants will be considered.
3. Golf tournaments and other sporting events are not eligible for sponsorships, but we can provide a raffle or auction item.
