About this opportunity

The Kentucky Historical Society is soliciting sponsorships for the 2027 Kentucky National History Day State Contest, with proposals due September 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. This is a sponsorship RFP, not a traditional goods or services procurement.

The solicitation seeks a presenting sponsor at the $3,500 level, with a limit of one sponsor at this tier. Sponsors may contribute cash or in-kind goods and services. The event will be held at the Kentucky Historical Society's campus in Frankfort and attracts 250+ attendees to this annual learning competition for students in grades 4–12. The sponsorship term runs January 1, 2027 through April 30, 2027.

The presenting sponsor receives top billing, including the opportunity to make remarks at the event luncheon, place promotional materials at each seat, secure a full-page program ad, and gain name and logo recognition with live links on the Kentucky Historical Society website and in event advertising, signage, and press releases.

Evaluation is conducted on a 100-point scale. Commercial entities are scored on sponsorship level in dollars (60 points maximum) and experience and previous sponsorship activities (40 points maximum). For individuals, the 40-point component is based on response date and available capacity. The Kentucky Historical Society reserves the right to reject any sponsor whose branding, image, or mission conflicts with the organization's goals and values. All sponsorships must comply with KRS 45A.097.

Proposals should be submitted to Dana Zinger at the Kentucky Historical Society, 100 West Broadway Street, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. No site visits or formal award date are specified.
