Interested in becoming a sponsor? Here's how you can help:

Cash Contributions & Scholarships

Cash donations are a major source of scholarship funds for Miss Minnesota, Miss America, and our local preliminaries. They take several forms:

        - The purchase of advertisements in a local or state pageant program book.
        - Sponsorship of appearances during Miss Minnesota’s year of service.
        - Direct monetary donations to the Miss Minnesota Education Foundation. Contributors have the option of earmarking their funds for a specific purpose, or they can create their own Miss Minnesota Scholarships, naming them after their business, themselves, or in honor of others.
        - Funds may also be donated to help cover the operating expenses of the Miss Minnesota Organization.


In-Kind Scholarships

Colleges and universities both in and outside of Minnesota may offer scholarships to Miss Minnesota contestants, finalists, or winners.

In-Kind Goods and Services

Donations of products, services and time are valuable to the Miss Minnesota Organization. In fact, much of our support comes from in-kind donations from businesses, organizations, and private citizens. Doing so also draws consumers to your business or organization. These types of arrangements can be structured any number of ways. Examples include:

        - A print shop that provides free printing of competition tickets and program books.
        - A restaurant that provides meals for contestants, volunteers, and production staff.
        - A business that provides an award or service that would benefit Miss Minnesota.

The Miss Minnesota Education Foundation enjoys providing our supporters with Program Book Advertising, Production Acknowledgement, Website Recognition, tickets to the Miss Minnesota Pageant, as well as other gifts of appreciation.
