If your organization or group is a 501(c)(3)* and would like to request a sponsorship or donation, please submit a request through our sponsorship request form. Preference is given to organizations or charities that:

• Promote youth and adult financial literacy
• Focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math)
• Provide business development opportunities

To ensure necessary review and processing time, requests must be received at least sixty (60) days prior to the requested support deadline.

NOTE: Hughes does not provide sponsorship or donations to individuals. Only verified organizations or groups making requests will be considered. (Special consideration will be given to first responders and military.) Submitting a request does not ensure its fulfillment. We receive far more requests for support than we are able to grant, and declining a request does not imply that the applicant organization is not valued or worthy of support.

You will need to provide your IRS determination letter confirming 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. This is required for sponsorship consideration.

*If you are a school and do not have a 501(c)(3), please contact us.
