 We
understand what using our equipment inventory can mean for an event. Experiencing Imagination receives hundreds of requests for
donations each year. Unfortunately the entertainment field is highly competitive
and margins will not permit us to donate to everyone and remain in business. We
do work with organizations and their existing contributors and will work with
any you let us know wish to contract on your behalf and be billed directly. Your
account manager can assist with this.
Some
donations are given in the form of sponsorships and may cover up to 33% of the
rental costs of an event, as listed in the table below. Labor, supplies,
delivery, sub-contracts and allowances are excluded from
calculation of a sponsorship.
Sponsorships
may only be given to 501(c)3 non-profit organizations, government agencies,
churches and accredited schools. Those working on behalf of such organizations,
but who are not actually the organization itself are not eligible. Sponsorships
are not possible for political organizations or campaigns. An organization's
501(c)3 or tax-exempt status documentation must be provided prior to the event.
Sponsorships
are granted on a case-by-case basis. Sponsored events must benefit
community or church outreach. Non-public (private) events are generally excluded
from consideration. There is no assurance of sponsorship
availability or percentage of rental costs covered, prior to review and grant.
Sponsorships for greater than the maximum listed are not available.
Sponsorships
ARE NOT discounts or package deals. Sponsorships are at the sole
discretion of PROVIDER. PROVIDER may add to, deduct from or withdraw completely
a sponsorship at any time.
Items
provided all or in part by sponsorship funds have a zero cost basis to you are
not guaranteed or refundable in any form. Such items are dependant upon
availability the day of the event and may be substituted or
removed from the equipment list at PROVIDER's discretion.
