As
newspapers serving the news and information needs of our community,
The Mercury News receives many sponsorship
requests and annually support an average of 200 events. Our mission
is to assist as many worthwhile community causes as we can
accommodate.
Applications receive equal consideration and are evaluated on the
basis of 1) benefit and impact to community 2) audience reach
and
3) history of the organization.
How
to Apply
All
event organizers are required to complete the standard Sponsorship
Application. We will review it and get back to you as quickly as
possible with an indication of our interest. It is recommended that
this application be submitted at least three to four months before
the day of your event.
If
the Mercury News sponsors your event, we will provide promotional
ad space at no cost.
Because
it is important for each event organizer to understand the general
terms of any Mercury News sponsorship, please review the Standard
Agreement, and the statement of our Policies.
These documents will be supplemented with additional details as
needed should the Mercury News sponsor
your event.
Please

you provide with the utmost confidentiality. No one outside of the
Community Relations staff will have access to this information.
