CAFA believes that the strength of its organization will be in acknowledging the groups that recognize the potential value of CAFA and assist in building the chapters.

A CAFA Sponsor is defined as a firm, company, association, department, financial institution, organization or agency that makes a financial contribution at one of the following levels:

National or provincial sponsorship entitles your business to be recognized and also counts towards a dollar-for-dollar credit. The credit can be used, at your discretion, to underwrite the cost of employees who wish to be members or as a strictly financial sponsorship to assist in CAFA's further development.
