Sponsorship Levels & Benefits

Kriti Festival Sponsors make it possible for us to create a much stronger, richer festival, and to make it more broadly accessible to the general public. This year, we’ve cut our registration rates in half, and made the festival free to UIC students, faculty and staff, due entirely to the generosity of festival sponsors. Further donations will make it possible for us to add additional programming, receptions, and other terrific elements to the 2014 festival.

The Kriti Festival is fiscally sponsored by the SLF, a 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization, and your contribution will be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
