LOUISIANA  LOTTERY SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES

Event Sponsorship Guidelines:

As part of its ongoing efforts to maximize the promotion of its products while supporting the local communities it serves, the Louisiana Lottery Corporation has developed the following guidelines for sponsoring events throughout the state of Louisiana. The Lottery sponsors events in two different ways: through Monetary Sponsorships and through Promotional Merchandise to be used for event attendee giveaways or as door prizes.  All events considered for these sponsorships must meet the following criteria:

• The event must be located in the state of Louisiana.
• The event must involve participants who are at least 21 years of age or older. (For this reason, school events will not be considered.)
• The event must be organized by a non-profit 501(c)3 community organization and not affiliated with any religious or political organization.
• The event must be open to the general public. (For this reason, individual requests and family or class reunions will  not be considered.)

The Louisiana Lottery Corporation reserves the right to accept or deny any requests based on its own internal evaluation of the sponsorship's conformance to these criteria as well as its potential for maximizing the Lottery's promotional investment and branding.

1. Monetary Sponsorship Requests:
    All requests for Monetary Sponsorships must be made in writing on the organization's official letterhead, and mailed at least 2 months prior to the event to:
   
   555 Laurel Street
   Attn: Sponsorship Coordinator
   Baton Rouge, LA 70801
   
   Each request should include the following:
   
   • Name of event
   • Date of event
   • Description of the hosting organization and its Web site address
   • Background and historical information about event, including the anticipated number of attendees
   • Sponsorship contact information
   • Proposed amount of sponsorship levels with corresponding benefits
   • Advertising and promotional opportunities available for the Louisiana Lottery on-site at the event,  including signage and media (i.e. print radio and TV ads)
   
   
   Please note that the Lottery should be listed as Louisiana Lottery in all sponsorship collateral and media. For example: Louisiana Lottery Stage or Louisiana Lottery Jazz Brunch.
   
   
2. Promotional Merchandise Requests:
   Requests for Promotional Merchandise can be made online by completing the Promotional Items Request Form in its entirety at least 3 weeks prior to the event.
