The Questions Business Owners Actually Ask About Sponsorship

These come up in nearly every conversation, so here they are answered directly.

What does it cost? A one-time setup fee plus a recurring annual fee that keeps the listing live. Current amounts are shown on the sponsorship page. Applying is free.

Do I pay before or after approval? After. We review first, and if your business is not a fit you are not charged.

Is it tax-deductible? JEPF is a registered 501(c)(3), so contributions are deductible to the extent allowed by law and you receive a receipt. Your accountant should have the final word on how you treat it.

Will it help my search rankings? It gives you a page and a link on a nonprofit domain, with structured data search engines can read. Anyone who promises you a ranking outcome from a single link is guessing. What it reliably does is exist, stay live, and be findable.

What happens if I stop paying? The listing comes down from the public directory until it is reactivated. It is not deleted and your data is not sold on.

Will you recommend my business? No. We will list you as a supporter of this foundation. We will not tell customers you are good at your work, because we have not assessed that. Every business in the directory benefits from that line being held.

Can I sponsor something specific instead? Yes. Event sponsorship, programme sponsorship, or a contribution earmarked for the leadership training center. Call (240) 330-5127.
