UC Davis Health sponsors a select number of events that are strongly aligned with its mission of discovering and sharing knowledge to advance health. The health system’s sponsorship program follows a thorough process of evaluating sponsorship opportunities. The opportunities that are ultimately funded make a positive impact on our communities.
As a publicly supported academic medical center, UC Davis Health does not maintain a private foundation, nor does the institution award grants. Sponsorship is defined as direct financial or in-kind support for community benefit programs or special events, and may include (though is not limited to) nonprofit agency fundraisers (breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, walks/runs), speakers series/lectures, health fairs or other community outreach that closely align with the UC Davis Health mission, vision and strategic plan.
Requests must meet university policies and procedures and promote the effective community engagement strategies of UC Davis Health. All requests must comply with university policies and procedures and promote one or more of the following:

Annual, planned or expected sponsorship requests should be submitted during the annual budget preparation process in order to be included in the UC Davis Health’s approved fiscal year budget.
Requests for sponsorship must be provided in writing on a university-approved form, along with additional supporting materials.
The Sponsorship Advisory Group will meet as needed to review, evaluate, and make sponsorship recommendations.
As best practice, individual departments that have budgeted funds for sponsorships should ensure Hospital Administration is aware of the intended sponsorship and funding source.
Decisions are based on consistency with the criteria mentioned previously. However, due to the overwhelming number of requests and limited availability of funds, a request may be denied even if it fits the criteria.
Official notification of approval or denial will come in the form of a letter or email no later than 45 days post deadline date.
