Event Sponsorship

Minnesota Blues Society, as part of it’s Mission, provides support to organizations and events that request our support.
All aspects of sponsorship must be consistent with our mission statement  (see Minnesota Blues Society Bylaws) 

 

Approval for MnBS assistance will be determined by the Board of Directors and must be obtained in advance of the event. 

In order to obtain all of the pertinent information necessary for the Board of Directors to decide on providing assistance, the Blues Society requests an application and agreement form be submitted to the Board.

An agreement for sponsorship by the MnBS implies agreement that your organization will not involve the Minnesota Blues Society in controversial issues nor expose the Society to adverse criticism.
Application may be made online or by mail.

 Please send any additional documents the MnBS may require to info@mnbs.org
      (Example: posters, photos of previous, event documents)
