Media Partnership Program

Every year KVPR partners with organizations and individuals who are producing events or activities in Central California that are aligned with KVPR’s mission and are of interest to KVPR audiences. KVPR does not provide cash sponsorships, but the station is able to provide a limited number of Media Partnerships in exchange for certain benefits and public recognition of KVPR. These partnerships are an important way for the station to continue to grow its audience and brand awareness, as well as build connections in the communities we serve.

A KVPR Media Partnership may include on-air messages on KVPR, digital ads on KVPR.org, the KVPR email newsletter, etc. In return, our Media Partners will recognize the station through displaying the KVPR logo at the event or in event materials and/or provide KVPR a physical presence at the event, or appearances by KVPR talent at the event, etc.

Application Process
Organizations interested in a potential KVPR Media Partnership are invited to complete and submit the online Media Partnership Application form which is available here.Applications should be submitted at least 90 days before the event. If an event has been approved for a KVPR Media Partnership, the designated contact person will be notified and asked to sign a written agreement confirming the terms of the KVPR Media Partnership within three to four weeks of the event. Approved events will also be asked to submit the Post‐Event Report. If an event has been declined for a KVPR sponsorship, the designated contact person will be notified by email or phone.

Criteria for Approval

In deciding whether to approve an application for a Media Partnership, the following are some of the criteria that are considered:

• How does the event promote KVPR?

• Will the event reach any of KVPR’s target audiences?

• Does the event promote cross‐cultural awareness?

• What other organizations are involved?

• Does KVPR have the resources (money, equipment, time, staffing) to participate as a partner?

• Is the applicant a non‐profit organization? (Considered, but not required)

• Does the KVPR schedule allow participation in the event?
