YesNoNo, I'd like further explanation of this process.

YesNoYes, but I would like further information on the requirements.
TCA Board reviews and selects sponsorships based on alignment to our mission, feasibility, and our own annual capacity to manage sponsorships. This review and selection process can take up to 60 days. Depending on the fundraising/donor source, TCA may not be able to retroactively credit donations that occur during the review period with tax exemption. TCA will notify you when we have made a decision, and if selected the next step would be to sign a sponsorship agreement document. By signing below, you are acknowledging that the information shared here is accurate, and that you understand this is not a guarantee of sponsorship but an interest form. *
