Welcome to Nationwide’s Nonprofit Event Sponsorship page. We are proud to support events that make a positive impact in our communities. Here, you can find information on how to apply for sponsorships and understand our funding priorities.

We accept sponsorship requests on a continuous basis and encourage nonprofits to submit requests at least 90 days prior to an event.

Important update

We have transitioned away from Cybergrants to a new grants management system called Blackbaud. All nonprofit event sponsorship applications need to be submitted through Blackbaud’s GrantsConnect platform. If you have not already created an account in GrantsConnect, you will need to do so before applying.

Please ensure you download any information you wish to retain from Cybergrants by December 31, 2025.

What we fund

Our sponsorship decisions are guided by our strategic impact areas, ensuring we support events that align with our mission and values.
