SPONSORSHIP

The Seattle Times participates in community sponsorship programs we consider essential to maintaining our community's economic health and the quality of life in the Northwest. Sponsorship differs from Corporate Giving in that we "partner" with organizations to provide benefits in ways other than a direct financial contribution, and to create exposure for The Seattle Times.

Priority sponsorship support is given to organizations which:

  • Emphasize our corporate values and are in alignment with our key focus areas
  • Provide exposure to our readership
  • Provide proven benefits to the community
  • Include advertising space purchase
  • Provide exposure for our product(s) to the public

How to Apply

Sponsorship requests must be submitted in writing and sent to:

Sponsorship Manager
The Seattle Times
P.O. Box 70
Seattle, WA 98111

Email: communitysupport@seattletimes.com

Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for a response. The Seattle Times generally plans and budgets special sponsorships a year in advance.

Please include the following information in your request:

  • A clear description of what is being requested from The Seattle Times
  • Description of the organization representing the proposal
  • Description of the project or event and program logistics
  • The intended results of the program, and plans for evaluation
  • Description of the market reach, include demographics
  • Benefits this project provides to the community
  • A list of other sponsors
  • Proposed advertising plan, including plans to purchase media
  • Benefits to The Seattle Times
  • A list of Seattle Times employees currently involved with the organization or program, if applicable

The Seattle Times offers a special community service advertising rate to non-profit organizations. Visit Advertising's Web site to learn more about these rates. Or you may call Advertising at 206/464-2400.
