Partnerships
All partnership levels allow for in-kind and financial contributions.
In-kind contributions can be provided in the form of services, donations, and items that provide an overall community benefit to City events and programs. The City’s Special Events team will collaboratively discuss details of the proposed contributions on a case-by-case basis to ensure they meet event needs.
Examples of in-kind contributions (value will be assessed prior to event date)
- Food and beverage
- SWAG items with added City of Santa Ana logo
- Providing staff/ volunteers on the day of the event
- Event components (inflatables, arts, crafts station, etc.)
- Entertainment (face painters, balloon artists, DJs, games, etc.)
- Event specific items (Easter eggs, decorations, balloon arches, photo booths, etc.)
