Apply for Co-Sponsorship

The lawful use of public funds and property is found in the Donation, Loan, or Pledge of Public Credit section in the Louisiana Constitution, Article VII, Section 14 (1974). Considering those constitutional provisions, the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government established the following guidelines for co-sponsorship applications:

The Parish President may approve co-sponsorship applications for events, not to exceed $600, if:

1. The event serves a public purpose;
2. The public purpose is consistent with one or more governmental purposes which TPCG is legally authorized to pursue;
3. The expenditure or transfer, taken as a whole, does not appear to be gratuitous;
4. The public entity has a demonstrable, objective, and reasonable expectation of receiving a public benefit of at least equivalent value in exchange for the expenditure or transfer of public funds;
5. The event is open to the public, or, if tickets are sold for the event, the tickets are of a nominal fee, so as to afford all social and economic classes an opportunity to attend; and
6. The event is held at a TPCG-owned venue or park.

Use of the official Terrebonne Parish Seal

The official parish seal may be used with written consent of the Parish President or his duly authorized Chief Administrative Officer. A fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500) per violation shall be levied on any person who violates this provision.

I understand co-sponsorship and use of the parish seal require separate consideration. To obtain written consent, I will submit a detailed description of my intended use of the parish seal directly to the Parish President's office.
If approved, we will provide you with a copy of the seal for use on print and web.
