Boeing sponsors the Chicago Air & Water Show, the oldest and largest free-admission show of its kind in the United States, with more than 2 million spectators each year. The show features vintage and present-day aircraft, including many Boeing products.
Boeing sponsors select major events, organizations and projects that resonate with our business and brand strategies to enhance Boeing brand presence and visibility with our customers, key stakeholders, employees and the communities where we live, work and do business around the world.
In addition, Boeing strives to create positive change for our global communities and their people through charitable corporate contributions as well as employee giving and volunteerism. Boeing invests in thoughtful, innovative partnerships and programs that align with our strategic objectives and build the capacity of individuals and communities to succeed in a constantly evolving world. Organizations seeking such charitable contributions should visit our Community Engagement page.
How To Apply
Boeing proactively seeks partnerships with appropriate potential strategic partners. However, all organizations are welcome to submit letters of inquiry for consideration. Before submitting an inquiry using the link at the bottom of this page, be sure to review our Evaluation Criteria and our list of ineligible activities.
Due the volume of requests that we receive, to be considered for a sponsorship, applicants must first submit a letter of inquiry. We no longer accept unsolicited sponsorship requests by telephone, fax, mail, email or delivery.
How Sponsorship Requests Are Evaluated
All sponsorship requests are received by Boeing Corporate Communications and evaluated against six general criteria:
Meeting these criteria ensures that Boeing establishes sponsorship relationships that mutually benefit Boeing and the receiving organization.
If the proposal is a potential fit, the proposal is shared with the business and site representatives responsible for developing sponsorship programs across the enterprise. The proposal is then reviewed for relevance to geographic location, scope and subject matter to determine the fit between the proposal and Boeing's brand and sponsorship strategies. If determined to be eligible, your organization will be invited to submit more detailed information.
How To Determine If Your Request Will Be Eligible
We regret that we are unable to support certain activities because they do not meet corporate sponsorship program goals and strategic objectives.
In most cases, the following activities do not meet our corporate sponsorship criteria:
How Much Time You Should Allow
Proposals are reviewed on a regular basis. Your organization should hear from Boeing within two to six weeks of receipt of the inquiry. If there is a need for additional information, Boeing will contact your organization directly.
Applicants should allow six months to one year between application and the sponsored event to provide time for negotiating agreements and to enable Boeing to appropriately plan our participation.
