Is your team facing funding issues this year? Be sure to apply for a US Quidditch sponsorship by Sept. 5, 2014.
The application process works as follows:
USQ will review applications to sponsor the individual membership dues of two member teams that already have seven registered member players, for a sponsorship of $700 per team that will pay for the individual dues of an additional 14 players.
Applications must include an essay with a demonstration of the team’s need and a competition plan for the upcoming season, at least one reference, and an agreement to complete one community service project during the season if chosen. Teams that have already received a sponsorship within the previous two seasons will be ineligible to apply.
Sponsorship applications are due on Sept. 5. Complete applications will be evaluated by impartial USQ staff and membership department volunteers.
Send the following to membership@usquidditch.org with the email subject heading [TEAM SPONSORSHIP] teamname. NOTE: “Teamname” should be replaced with the name of your team.
1. One essay of no more than 500 words demonstrating the team’s need.
2. Competition plan for the season, including other forms of funding (sample items to include would be a schedule of major events and tournaments; plans to host events; outline of tournament roster selection process, etc.)
3. One letter of reference, preferably from a regional representative, conference leader, or school club advisor/administrator.
