Sponsorship

Become a Sponsor!

A fundraising vehicle benefiting The Friends of the Palm Springs Public Library, Palm Springs Speaks brings distinguished speakers from the worlds of politics, wellness, and entertainment to the valley. Past guests have included former Vice President Al Gore, Bob Woodward, Deepak Chopra, Janet Mock, Jane Fonda, Dame Joan Collins, and Rick Steves, just to name a few. Each year’s program offers the same high caliber slate of authors, activists, and personalities.

To ensure the success of the series, we need your help. As a respected member of our community, won’t you consider sponsoring Palm Springs Speaks this year? We have limited funds to offset the cost of bringing these powerhouse speakers to the desert. With your support, we can continue this enriching, often sold-out series, a highlight of the Palm Springs social season and a fixture in the cultural community. In recognition of your support, we offer high visibility benefits designed to showcase your organization as a valued supporter of the library and its commitment to offering educational, and entertaining programs.  Below you will find our sponsorship levels. 

Thank you for your consideration. For more sponsorship information, please contact us.
