Sponsorship & Donations

Partner with COPAF

Partner with COPAF to support the next generation of performers. Sponsorship connects your business to a long-standing community tradition while helping young artists shine on stage. We offer a range of opportunities that provide meaningful recognition before, during, and after the festival.

Sponsorship
We work directly with companies to create custom sponsorship packages that meet your goals and deliver measurable ROI. Sponsors receive meaningful recognition through on-site visibility, digital promotion, and community exposure. We also welcome in-kind sponsorships, including products or services that help bring the festival to life.

In-Kind Support
In-kind sponsors provide support through donations such as printing, photography, hospitality, or décor. These contributions reduce costs and enhance the festival experience for everyone.

Support a Rising Performer. 

Through a $500 named scholarship, you directly support a young artist at a meaningful stage in their development. These scholarships help offset training costs while recognizing dedication, discipline, and artistic growth.

As a COPAF Rising Performer Scholarship Partner, you receive:

• A named scholarship in your name or your business
• Recognition as a COPAF Community Partner
• A social media announcement acknowledging your support
• Five complimentary tickets to the COPAF Festival Gala on May 15th, 2026
• The opportunity to present the scholarship on stage, if desired

Standing on stage to present or witness a scholarship award is a powerful moment — one that reminds young performers that their community believes in them.

This is a meaningful and visible way to invest in youth and strengthen the cultural fabric of our region.
