RiderDown Foundation Racing Sponsorship Guidelines
Sponsorship Guidelines
The RiderDown Foundation would love to be able to help each and every rider in need of sponsorship, but that is unfortunately not possible. We have established the following set of criteria to help determine if you qualify for a RiderDown sponsorship.
If you meet these criteria and would like to apply, please follow the instructions below to be considered for our program. Please remember that you are not guaranteed sponsorship if you meet the general criteria - this is an application process, and you will be contacted only if you are selected. Please do not call to follow up on your application/race resume. We have limited space on our sponsorship roster and limited resources to share, and although we may not currently have an available slot for you, we will keep your information on file and may contact you at a later date.
Please note – the RiderDown Foundation does not offer cash sponsorships.
RDF Sponsored Rider Criteria;
• You have medical insurance that covers organized racing.
• You must be a rider who regularly participates in races or charity rides.
• You must be willing to actively promote RiderDown Foundation.
• You must keep in contact with us, letting us know what events you are participating in, and sending us a note or e-mail with any significant race results.
• If you have a website, we ask that you contact our webmaster for a link to your website, preferably with your logo. We will also ask for the RiderDown logo & link to be prominently displayed on your website.
• If you have race or ride photos or videos, we ask that you share them with RiderDown Foundation, and that you allow us to feature them on our website and /or newsletter at our discretion.
• You must be at least 14 years of age, and have permission from your parent or legal guardian to race if you are less than 18 years of age.
• You must live and ride/race in the United States.
You may be disqualified from the sponsorship program if you:
• Act in any criminal manner.
• Have substandard school grades.
• Willfully misrepresent RiderDown Foundation in any way.
• Act in any way that is detrimental to fellow racers, fans, promoters, track officials and RiderDown Foundation and it’s volunteer’s.
How To Apply:
Send an up-to-date race-resume, names of any other sponsors, current school report card, head shot photo, action photo, events in which you have participated, dates, locations, category and placing (if applicable), to: bod@riderdown.org
Incomplete applications will not be considered for approval.
Please do not just send a link to your race results - make the effort of at least cutting and pasting this information into a document or e-mail so it is readily accessible. Your resume can be a separate Microsoft Word or Acrobat pdf attachment or it can be included in the body of your e-mail.
Let us know why we should consider you as unique among the many other riders who contact us regarding sponsorship opportunities. What will you do to spread the word about RiderDown Foundation? And what will you expect from us in return? Remember, the more you can do to help us spread the word about RiderDown Foundation, the more likely it is that we will be able to help you with a sponsorship.
Be aware that we are less concerned about your race results than we are about what kind of a representative you will be for RiderDown Foundation. We would prefer to sponsor a consistent mid-pack finisher who is enthusiastic and positive about promoting RiderDown Foundation and website, and is a good ambassador for the sport, than a top finisher, but whose behavior is negative and unsportsmanlike.
We look forward to hearing from you. The summer riding season is here and we are excited about working together. Remember - have fun, take care and ride safe!
The RiderDown Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping responsible off road motorcyclists and atv racers who have been injured while riding. Proceeds are used to provide assistance to the riders and their families when faced with medical expenses and related issues.
