NJCH will provide funding up to $3,000 for an organization's event, in return for marketing visibility and exposure. Sponsorships can support a variety of formats, including events, conferences, scholarships, or awards.

Funding Priorities
For the 2024-25 application cycle, NJCH gives priority to sponsorship requests that:
- Support areas that are underserved in the NJ humanities ecosystem (i.e., geographic, demographic, institutional type, humanities disciplines).
- Support events/programs with a large number of attendees or viewers
- Provide equitable access to the humanities or educational/professional development opportunities for humanities-serving institutions
- Support activities that meet NJCH’s strategic priorities, but whose structure is not suited to NJCH’s current grantmaking programs or initiatives
- Support organizations not recently funded by NJCH grants or other program funding
- Support rapid response programs that address recent events that have had a strong impact on New Jerseyans and that would benefit from a humanities perspective.
