How far does a sponsorship go in recognizing a loved or honored one? How can an individual or group be recognized throughout a community for their positive impact on that community? APIOH direct community sponsorship offers a meaningful and wide reaching possibility.
APIOH – A Place In Our Hearts develops web based interactive products and displays for the benefit of organizations. Our objective at APIOH is to create recognition systems that will help organizations in numerous ways. As our motto states, ‘APIOH: A Place In Our Hearts provides systems to memorialize our departed, recognize our achievers, and show gratitude to our donors - within an organization and globally.’ However, more than ever, affordability and return are the primary concern of every organization. That is why our products promote giving to the organization and offer revenue generation opportunities.
APIOH products allow for internal sponsorship opportunities. Like many capital projects instituted in a not-for-profit organization, the organization would find sponsors from among their members to underwrite the cost of the systems. These sponsors would be presented prominently at the top of each APIOH View display within the organization and on their associated APIOH web pages. Ongoing revenue generation would take care of annual maintenance and upgrade charges and provide additional income to the organization.
Still, the amount needed from within to underwrite could be further reduced by up to 25% with direct APIOH sponsorship. This sponsorship would go to APIOH to directly underwrite the cost of the products to a number of organizations. Candidates for direct APIOH sponsorship would be those who might otherwise contribute to a large charitable cause. The sponsor would have to recognize that their contribution provides the subsidy dollars to allow APIOH to reduce the cost of the APIOH products to a number of not-for-profit organizations. As a thank you for the sponsorship, the sponsor would be able to feature their desired honoree in a prominent spot in many of the organizations that are important to them.
By way of example, someone who would be recognized within a community for his generosity or service to that community might choose to be an APIOH sponsor. That individual might wish to make a contribution to benefit the community by naming a church, school or hospital. But such a contribution would only be visible to those who visit that specific building. It would not be seen by a large diverse audience on a regular basis. As an alternative, sponsoring APIOH within a community presents the name, picture and recognition of the sponsored honoree in all APIOH boards throughout related community institutions and on all their associated APIOH web pages. This means that instead of recognition in one location, the individual can be recognized globally. Also, information would accompany the sponsorship recognition, so future generations would know more about the individual who was so generous in the past.
It is important to note that direct APIOH sponsorship is not available for commercial sponsors and would not compromise the beliefs and objectives of the organizations where it is being presented.
So Kellogg’s Corn Flakes will not be a direct APIOH sponsor, but the Kellogg Foundation could be based on their non-commercial charitable activities they are involved in. A community sponsorship honoring a rabbi will likely not be presented in a church in deference to the varying beliefs of each religion.
Direct APIOH sponsorship is a wonderful way to further impact a wider community. Call us and we can discuss whether a direct community sponsorship would work for you.
