Glendale International Fringe Festival · February 12–28, 2027
Sponsorships
start at $50.
Six productions. 50 free performances. Two Glendale libraries. Seventeen days of live performance—and a place for businesses of every size to be part of it.
GIFF sponsorships begin at just $50 and extend all the way to sponsorship of an entire production. Every performance is free to the public at Glendale Main Library and Foothills Library, with digital broadcast and livestream access.
The $50 starting point is intentional. GIFF sponsorship is not reserved for corporations with marketing departments and giant community-engagement budgets.
The neighborhood coffee shop belongs here. So does the restaurant around the corner, the independent retailer, the law office, the dentist, the nonprofit, the service business, the community organization—and, yes, the company ready to put serious support behind the arts.
Sponsors receive recognition appropriate to their level through festival communications and opportunities connected with GIFF performances and activities. The idea is not simply to collect logos. GIFF wants audiences to know who helped make the festival happen.

A Production Sponsor provides significant direct support for one of the six works and receives prominent recognition in connection with that production, along with festival-wide recognition as a major GIFF partner.
There is only one Production Sponsorship per production. Sponsors may identify themselves as “Production Sponsor of [Production Title] at GIFF 2027.”

Cash is not the only way to help. A festival needs meals and refreshments. Printing. Transportation. Lodging. Equipment. Supplies. Hospitality.
And occasionally something nobody realized was desperately needed until Tuesday afternoon.
GIFF welcomes conversations with businesses and community partners about what they do best and how it might help make the festival happen.
Be part of GIFF
GIFF is inviting businesses to become part of the public life of the festival—and part of the community making 50 free performances possible in Glendale.
A $50 Friend of GIFF has a place in that. So does a $5,000 Production Sponsor. And there is plenty of room in between.
