Corporate Partnerships Pursue regional corporate partnerships and sponsorships with Indiana-based brands and employers by offering cause-marketing campaigns, employee giving programs, and co-branded scholarship funds. Leverage national FoH partnerships as a model to engage local manufacturers, outdoor or sports brands, hospitality, and service companies seeking veteran and first responder CSR opportunities; propose sponsor tiers, event rights, and recognition at scholarships-related activities.

Local Fundraising Activate local fundraising and event partnerships around Indiana-focused activities to drive donor acquisition and recurring gifts. Build on Patriot Cup prestige and align with venues, media partners, and community groups to convert event attendees into sustained supporters and corporate sponsors.

CSR Programs Offer Indiana employers a turnkey CSR package that includes employee matching gifts, payroll giving, and volunteer opportunities tied to scholarships for families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. Highlight the diverse beneficiary base to appeal to diversity-focused companies and provide sponsors with impact reporting.

Brand Licensing Explore licensed or co-branded products and experiences with local and national brands to raise funds and boost sponsor exposure. The success of recent partnerships suggests sponsors are open to cause-marketing; create limited editions that align with FoH's mission and deliver measurable ROI for partners.
