What is FAVOR card Sponsorship Application 1 – Onondaga County, NY?
The FAVOR card Sponsorship Application 1 is the Onondaga County Clerk's sponsorship form for the "Return the FAVOR" Veteran Discount Card Program, on which a business states its sponsorship level and asks to be listed as a program sponsor.
FAVOR stands for Find & Assist Vets of Record. Under the program, the Onondaga County Clerk's office, or any Onondaga County Town Clerk's Office, issues a photo I.D. card to eligible county residents who are honorably discharged military Veterans. Participating county merchants agree to honor the card with a discount or special offer on purchases and services.
The form asks for the business name, address, phone and email, one of four sponsorship levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum, each printed on the form with a dollar amount), a contact name, a signature and date, and whether the business intends to renew annually. The form states that sponsors are listed in tiers by sponsorship level on the County Clerk website and on various promotional materials, and that it serves as a one-year agreement for applying merchants to be listed as a sponsor.
It is not the application for participating merchants, which the County Clerk offers as a separate download, and it is not the application Veterans use to get a card. It contains no tax lines.
