THE PARTNERSHIP PROCESS
From Sponsor Goals to Measurable Impact
A successful sponsorship begins with understanding what the sponsor wants to accomplish. Purple Diamond Press uses those goals to create a customized partnership with clear benefits, deliverables, responsibilities, and reporting.
Discover Your Goals
Purple Diamond Press begins with a sponsorship conversation to understand your company's audience, community priorities, geographic focus, desired impact, employee-engagement interests, timeline, and investment level.
Design the Partnership
A customized program is developed using the books, educational resources, recognition opportunities, community activations, and campaign assets that best support your objectives.
Confirm the Deliverables
The investment, sponsor benefits, activation plan, responsibilities, timeline, reporting expectations, and partnership terms are documented and approved before the campaign begins.
Activate the Campaign
Purple Diamond Press coordinates the approved books, educational materials, recipient organizations, recognition, communications, fulfillment, and community activities included in the partnership.
Measure, Report, and Grow
The sponsor receives agreed milestone updates and a final sponsorship report documenting completed deliverables, books and resources distributed, participating organizations, geographic reach, approved impact stories, and available engagement results.
SPONSORSHIP IS A PARTNERSHIP—NOT SIMPLY A LOGO PLACEMENT.
Purple Diamond Press remains in communication throughout the campaign to ensure the partnership delivers meaningful value for the sponsor and the communities being served.

The Purple Diamond Press Making a Difference Award
This custom-engraved award honors our National Literacy & STEAM Title Partner for its extraordinary commitment to expanding children’s access to books, encouraging curiosity, and supporting meaningful STEAM learning opportunities. Personalized with the company’s name and partnership year, the plaque represents the lasting educational impact made possible through this transformational partnership.
Packages are guidelines—not one-size-fits-all offers.
Purple Diamond Press will customize the final combination of recognition, educational assets, community activation, content, geographic focus, and reporting to create meaningful value for each sponsor.
Sponsors may also decline promotional benefits, request name-only recognition, or remain anonymous.
**Tally the Kindness Coin™ is a hands-on character-building tool that encourages children to recognize, practice, and pass along acts of kindness at home, at school, and throughout their communities.
Whether your organization is developing a corporate social responsibility initiative, community giving program, employee engagement campaign, literacy partnership, or education sponsorship, Purple Diamond Press can help turn that investment into books that reach young readers.
Frequently asked questions
How long does sponsorship fulfillment take?
Most standard book placements can be completed within approximately two to six weeks after the sponsorship agreement, payment, recipient confirmation, and final book selections are complete. Larger initiatives, custom resources, collector products, or orders requiring additional printing may require a longer production timeline. The anticipated schedule will be documented before the partnership begins.
Who chooses the schools and organizations that receive the books?
Purple Diamond Press works with interested educators, schools, libraries, youth organizations, and children’s programs to coordinate appropriate placements. Sponsors may request a geographic area, educational theme, community, or specific recipient. Final recipients are selected according to the approved partnership plan, demonstrated interest, program suitability, available inventory, and fulfillment capacity.
What is included in the sponsorship impact report?
The report may include completed deliverables, the number and titles of books or resources distributed, participating schools and organizations, geographic reach, approved photographs or impact stories, employee or community activations, campaign communications, and other measurable results included in the sponsorship agreement.
How should a company treat its sponsorship for tax purposes?
Purple Diamond Press is a for-profit publishing company. Payments made directly to Purple Diamond Press are commercial sponsorships and may be treated as business or marketing expenses, depending on the sponsor’s circumstances.
Charity’s Readers for Tomorrow (CRFT) is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity that can accept charitable contributions supporting its approved literacy and book-access programs. Sponsors and donors are advised to consult their tax advisers regarding their individual tax treatment.
Is a nonprofit giving option available?
Yes. Organizations and individuals who prefer to make a charitable contribution may donate directly to Charity’s Readers for Tomorrow (CRFT), our independent nonprofit literacy partner. CRFT supports approved initiatives that expand children’s access to books and educational programming.
Charitable gifts do not include the promotional benefits provided with a Purple Diamond Press sponsorship, but we can help you determine which giving option best aligns with your goals.
