# Carolina Cares Sponsorship: A Practical Way for Local Organizations to Help

**Partnerships & Sponsorships · October 14, 2026**

A five-level sponsorship framework gives businesses, churches, civic groups, and community organizations a defined way to support Carolina Cares Essentials Kits.

Carolina Cares sponsorship gives businesses, churches, civic groups, and community organizations a defined way to support the supplies, preparation, distribution, and operating needs behind Essentials Kits in South Carolina.

## Five sponsorship levels

- $250 — Community Sponsor
- $500 — Supporting Sponsor
- $1,000 — Impact Sponsor
- $2,500 — Lead Sponsor
- $5,000 — Presenting Sponsor
Recognition can include website acknowledgment, email or social updates, select materials, event recognition, or other available channels depending on sponsorship level, timing, consent, and program activity.

## What sponsorship supports

Sponsorship can strengthen purchasing, kit preparation, seasonal needs, supply coordination, distribution readiness, and the records that explain how charitable support was used. Organizations can also discuss approved in-kind supplies or employee and community involvement.

## A straightforward conversation

The first step is to identify the organization, preferred sponsorship level, timing, and whether support may involve cash, products, employee participation, or a combination. The Foundation can then discuss current program needs and the appropriate charitable-supporter recognition.
