Sponsorship at Carleton

Welcome to the Department of University Advancement’s sponsorship website!

At Carleton, we believe that higher education is a force for good that creates lasting, positive change in the world. Leveraging a variety of mechanisms and pathways, we empower people to find their purpose and act on it – developing unique solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time. Sponsorship is one such mechanism that allows people and organizations to partner on shared solutions through mutually beneficial partnerships. Through collaborative sponsorship arrangements between corporate partners and Carleton, we contribute to societal change while helping to advance organizations’ missions.

More than just a financial transaction between the Carleton community and corporate partners, corporate sponsorship is an opportunity to engage Carleton’s wide-reaching community of talented students, world-class researchers and a network of collaborators from industry and government. And through corporate sponsorship, we advance critical social issues by connecting Carleton’s mission of education, research and community engagement with corporate social responsibility.



What do we do?

University Advancement helps facilitate meaningful collaborations between corporate partners and Carleton staff, faculty, students and student groups. By working together, we take purposeful action on issues affecting our organizations, sectors, communities and society.

We’ve helped facilitate sponsorships of all scopes and sizes – from multi-year, multi-million-dollar research and talent partnerships to one-time, sold-out event sponsorships.

Whether you’re a public, private, for-profit or non-profit organization, we can create positive outcomes together. Through sponsorship, we can help you achieve your business, recruitment and corporate social responsibility goals while making an impact on Carleton students – your future workforce – the Ottawa region and the global community we serve.

We’re also here to help Carleton staff, faculty, students and student groups find the ideal sponsor(s) to work with. That means we can help identify and leverage opportunities to build a mutually beneficial partnership with a corporate partner that shares your values and purpose.

We look forward to working with you!
