As a non-profit arts organization, SIFF has built many successful corporate partnerships over the course of our 37-year history. From direct financial support to providing goods and services, there are many ways to make a tax-deductible contribution and provide your brand with significant marketing exposure, uncluttered and easily recognizable with SIFF’s sizable audience (over 200,000 filmgoers in 2011).
Whether you want to make a big impression at the annual Seattle International Film Festival or create a year-round impact with SIFF Cinema or SIFF FutureWave educational programming, we would be happy to create a customized sponsorship proposal designed to meet your marketing objectives and budget.
