RTPB Sponsorship Request Policy

Purpose

The Richfield Tourism Promotion Board (RTPB) is authorized to sponsor community activities and events in and around Richfield for the purposes of increasing tourism and visitors to Richfield, and promoting Richfield businesses and amenities.  RTPB will, at its discretion, determine which events meet the Board’s sponsorship criteria and at which sponsorship levels it will participate. To ensure that activities and events meet RTPB sponsorship objectives, the following guidelines have been established by the RTPB regarding sponsorship requests.  The Sponsorship Request Policy and the Sponsorship Request Application, both of which may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of RTPB, outline the criteria by which RTPB will evaluate sponsorship requests.
