Community Sponsorships

We believe the future is well. As a not-for-profit healthcare system, Health First partners with organizations whose events and community activities support health, wellness, and quality of life in the communities we serve.

Sponsorships provide financial support for eligible events, programs, and community initiatives that align with Health First’s mission and create opportunities to improve health, wellness, and quality of life.

What We Consider

Health First considers sponsorship requests for events that:

  • Align with Health First’s mission and support health, wellness, or quality of life in the communities we serve.
  • Serve Brevard, Flagler, Hardee, Highlands, Indian River, Seminole, or Volusia counties.
  • Provide opportunities for community engagement, outreach, recognition, or partnership.
  • Are submitted at least 60 days before the event date.


Requests We Do Not Sponsor

  • *Private schools, private educational institutions, or individual sports teams.
  • Activities primarily related to gambling or alcohol.
  • Political campaigns or political organizations.
  • Requests submitted without enough time for review, payment processing, and sponsorship coordination.

*To maximize community impact and ensure equitable support across the region, Health First's student-focused investments are primarily directed through established educational collaborations, including our partnership with Brevard Public Schools. As a result, sponsorship requests from individual schools, educational institutions, and sports teams are generally not eligible for funding.
