Every year, the OAA receives a number of requests for financial support and/or sponsorship not only from members and those with status in the Association, but also from outside organizations, associations, companies, and individuals. OAA Council sets aside a budget for such opportunities each year in its Public Awareness Sponsorship program; the funding is given to carry out projects or events that fulfil the mandate to promote Ontario architecture to the public.
Interested applicants should contact Erik Missio, Communications Manager, at
erikm@oaa.on.ca to request a form that will be distributed to members of the Communications Committee. Any requests over $10,000 require OAA Council approval based on a recommendation from the Communications Committee. Please note there are two separate deadlines for any sponsorship submissions.
Deadline 1: Monday, January 25, 2021
The OAA Communications Committee reviews and approves of funding requests at its March meeting. In most cases, decisions are communicated to applicants in late March, with funding issued shortly thereafter for successful applicants.
Deadline 2: Monday, July 26, 2021
The OAA Communications Committee reviews and approves of funding requests at its August meeting. In most cases, decisions are communicated to applicants in late August, with funding issued shortly thereafter for successful applicants.
