Sponsorship Requests

The UCR School of Medicine sponsors a select number of events that are strongly aligned with its mission. All requests are vetted to ensure that the sponsorship opportunity will make a positive impact on our communities.

A sponsorship is defined as direct financial or in-kind support for special events, and may include (though is not limited to) nonprofit agency fundraisers (breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, walk/run), speakers series/lectures, health fairs, or other community outreach efforts that closely align with the UCR SOM mission, vision and strategic plan.
