What is the policy for product donations or sponsorships involving the Landscape Round Table?

The Landscape Round Table maintains a structured policy framework for product donations and sponsorship opportunities that aligns with our core mission of promoting sustainable landscape practices. Organizations seeking support must demonstrate how their contribution advances environmental stewardship, community education, or innovation in sustainable landscaping.

Our donation policy requires formal proposals submitted at least 60 days before the needed date, detailing the product's relevance to our initiatives, quantity specifications, and intended use case. The review committee evaluates applications based on environmental impact, alignment with current programs, and potential community benefit. Approved donations typically receive acknowledgment in our quarterly publications and event materials.

Sponsorship arrangements follow a tiered system with clearly defined benefits at each level. Bronze-level sponsors gain basic recognition in our digital channels, while silver and gold sponsors receive progressively greater visibility including speaking opportunities at events and featured placement in educational materials. All sponsorship agreements include a 12-month term with renewal options.

The Landscape Round Table prioritizes partnerships with organizations sharing our commitment to environmental responsibility. We particularly welcome collaborations focusing on water conservation technologies, native plant cultivation, and sustainable urban development projects. Both donation and sponsorship inquiries undergo the same rigorous assessment process to ensure alignment with our organizational values and strategic objectives.

Prospective partners should note that we cannot accept donations with promotional requirements that conflict with our educational mission, nor sponsor products containing chemicals prohibited by our sustainability standards. All arrangements must be documented through formal agreements specifying terms, recognition details, and mutual responsibilities.
