2. An event must align with at least one element in the San Antonio River Foundation’s mission to enhance the San Antonio River Basin as a vibrant cultural, educational, ecological, and recreational
3. An event, or registration for an event, must be open to the general public. Exceptions for non-public events may include those by special interest groups, examples: students,  seniors. Member-only events do not qualify with the exception of special interest groups, examples: scouts, school groups. Events may be closed to the public if registration is full.
4. Fundraising events do not qualify for sponsorship. Events which require a modest entry fee are approved on a case by case basis.

1. Name of the nonprofit or educational organization
2. Event organizer’s full contact information- Name, address, email, phone
