Sponsorship Benefits

The BC Food Protection Association has continued to navigate through increasing event and venue costs, making it increasingly difficult to host in-person meetings without increasing event registration fees to the point where it becomes a significant financial barrier for those who want to attend. Your support will help us continue to host in-person and virtual events to come at affordable prices. 

There are two ways for companies and individuals to provide sponsorship for our events and activities: corporate sponsorship and individual sponsorship. These efforts represent a helpful way of allowing us to continue actively educating and informing our members of important issues that impact our food industry. By sponsoring our events and activities, we offer benefits for sponsors to take advantage of, including admission, advertising and/or other forms of recognition.

An online payment system has been set up on the BCFPA website to streamline the process of receiving donations and sponsorship monies. The link can be found here: https://www.bcfoodprotection.ca/Donations

Corporate Sponsorship

We have sponsorship packages available for our BCFPA corporate members who wish to sponsor our in-person or virtual events, and student scholarship award. 

*$1500 and up category is for full-day workshop or conference.
Logo size: Small is up to 1/8 page, large is up to 1/4 page.
Promotional materials: The BCFPA reserves the right to accept and include items based upon their suitability for our members.

Student Sponsorship Benefits

Individual Sponsorship

We have sponsorship opportunities available for BCFPA members who wish to support our in-person or virtual events as individual members. Individual member sponsorships will be put in a category called Friends of the BCFPA. Sponsoring an event is now affordable, starting at $10. We offer the benefit of recognition as a thank you in our event email blasts and on our event page. Recognition can be public (your first and last name will be listed) or you may be anonymous (if you choose to hide your name).

Sponsor-a-Student Initiative

We recognize the financial hardships of hard-working students who wish to join our association or participate in our food safety seminar meetings, but may not always be able to do so. This is why we have created the Sponsor-a-Student Initiative to encourage our members to pay it forward and sponsor a student so that we can continue to offer them opportunities to be more engaged in the food industry.   

Individual and corporate members can now sponsor a student by paying for their membership dues ($20 for 2025) or event registration fees (can range from $5 virtual event fees to $40 in-person hybrid event). As a thank you, we provide recognition to our sponsors on our event email announcements and event page. Recognition can be public (your first and last name will be listed, or your company’s name) or you may be anonymous (you choose to hide your name).
