Guidelines for Charitable Donations and Sponsorship Requests


Thank you for inquiring about a donation or sponsorship of your event and/or organization. Due to the fact that the Canterbury Hotel receives hundreds of requests annually, we have listed several guidelines to insure the request receives proper consideration. They are as follows:

  • Requests must be submitted in writing on event/organization letterhead.
  • Requests may be submitted one of two ways (Please do not submit both)
  • Via regular mail: Attention Jessica Foster
  • Via fax @ 317-264-8109: Attention Jessica Foster
  • For consideration, requests must be received at least 30 days prior to event.
  • The Canterbury Hotel will only consider contributions to not-for-profit organizations in Indiana.
  • A maximum of one request per calendar year will be fulfilled per organization.
  • The Canterbury Hotel does not make financial contributions, donation of food items or charitable contributions that benefit only one individual or family.
  • Donations are NOT automatically renewed or assumed. Each submission is evaluated on a first time basis and will not be approved based upon a prior year’s participation.

Your written request on organizational letterhead MUST include the following information:
  • Name of the event/organization requesting sponsorship.
  • Contact person with street address, telephone number & email address to which responses can be mailed or emailed. (Calls will not be made).
  • Date, description and location of the charitable event.
  • Estimated attendance and demographic make-up of the audience.
  • History of the event and attendance/contributions from previous year.
  • All other event sponsors including hotel and restaurant participation.
  • Opportunities for the Canterbury Hotel to be included on advertisements and/or promotional materials.
  • Opportunity for the Canterbury Hotel to obtain email addresses for a follow-up mailing to attendees.
We appreciate your interest in the Canterbury Hotel; however, due to the large number of requests we receive, we are unable to respond to all requests immediately. If we are interested in sponsoring your event/organization, we will contact you via mail with the follow-up information. Please do NOT call to follow up on the request as information will not be given over the phone.
