Creative Partnerships Welcome

Not every partnership needs to be financial. We welcome in-kind sponsorships from organizations and individuals who want to contribute space, food and beverage, promotional items, services, or event tickets in support of our programming.

In-kind sponsors receive the same benefits as financial sponsors—equivalent to the dollar value of their donation—and are acknowledged across PRSA-SF platforms and events accordingly.

This is a great option for:

  • Restaurants and venues looking to host mixers

  • Local businesses offering catering or product samples

  • Creative professionals contributing services like photography, design, or video

  • Arts, sports, and entertainment organizations offering ticket giveaways

We’re happy to tailor a package that works for you and gives your brand the spotlight it deserves.
