Sponsorship and Advertising Program

September, 2022 Sponsorship and Advertising Program Update:

Due to staff and vehicle capacity, COIC is limiting the program to community and agency partners only, with a one year minimum contract for advertising. 

The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) Board of Directors approved a new Sponsorship Policy in 2018 to enhance relationships with community partners and to increase COIC’s ability to deliver services to the community. COIC/CET is now accepting sponsorship applications via the downloadable form listed below. Please email your signed and completed application to dhofbauer@coic.org and allow up to two weeks for COIC to review applications.
