Media Partner Application

September 18–20, 2026 · Christian Heritage Academy, Northfield, Illinois · In person and livestreamed

Thank you for your interest in covering the Summit.

We are glad to accredit any qualifying newsroom. Press accreditation is free and comes with full access, a press kit, and priority on interview requests.

Some outlets also ask us to support the cost of sending a team. We consider those requests case by case, and this form is how we do it. It asks about your audience, what you plan to publish, and what a partnership would look like from your side.

Please answer what you can. A blank answer is better than an estimate presented as a fact. Questions: media@romanianunitedfund.org

Roughly 15 minutes. Media partners are Summit partners too, so this form also collects the details we need to list your outlet on the partners page.

One per line.

What about this Summit interests your newsroom specifically? *

Section 4

Your editorial plan

The more specific this is, the easier it is for us to say yes.

Which reporters would attend? *

For each: name, beat, and a link to recent work.

What do you plan to publish? *

How many pieces of each format, and how would they be spread across pre-event, event days, and post-event? *

In which language(s) would you publish? *

Do you want scheduled interview slots?

With whom, and how long? We cannot guarantee every request, but we handle accredited press first.

Do you plan to broadcast or stream live from the venue? *

We need to know early to plan bandwidth and space.

If yes or possibly, describe your technical needs

Bandwidth, power, space, dedicated line, crew size.

Is there a story you want to report that we have not thought of?

We are interested in the answer.

Section 5

Rights and reuse

Nothing here is a condition of accreditation. We ask because it affects the value of a partnership.

May RUF republish or excerpt your Summit coverage on our channels, with full attribution and a link back?

Will photography or video your team produces at the Summit be available to RUF for non-commercial use?

If you answered "with conditions" to either question above, what are they?

Section 6

What you are asking RUF to cover

Please itemize with estimated amounts in USD. An honest range is more useful than a round number. If you are not asking for cost support, write "none" and move on.

Summit passes

How many, and for which days? Press accreditation is free, so this is usually zero.

Flights

Departing from where, for how many people, estimated cost per person.

Accommodation

How many rooms, how many nights.

Ground transport, meals, and anything else

Total estimated request, USD *

Enter 0 if you are not asking for cost support.

What portion of this can your outlet cover itself? *

Are you seeking or receiving support for this trip from any other funder, sponsor, institution, or government body? *

Please name them. This does not disqualify you. We ask so that we can identify any conflict early.

Section 7

What you would bring

This section carries the most weight in our decision. Please answer it in detail.

Would you list RUF as a partner on your site during the campaign period?

Where, in what format, for how long?

Display or banner inventory

Format, placement, duration, and the standard rate card value of that placement.

Newsletter

How many mentions, at what size, to how many subscribers?

Social

How many posts, on which platforms, over what period?

Do you offer co-branded, partner-labeled, or sponsored content?

On what terms and at what published rate?

Would one of your journalists moderate a Summit session or take part on stage?

We would treat this as a professional engagement, not as coverage.

What else could you offer that we have not asked about?

Link to your current media kit and rate card

Google Drive, Dropbox or a public URL. Please make sure it is viewable by anyone with the link.

Section 8

Editorial independence

We want to be direct about this, because it protects both sides.

RUF does not pay for coverage and does not ask for it. Any logistical support we provide creates no obligation for you to publish anything, and gives RUF no right to review, approve, or influence your editorial content.

Separately, any guaranteed placement — logo, listing, newsletter slot, banner — is a partnership commitment and should be labeled as such under your normal policy.

Do you confirm the above? *

If you have a comment, please add it here

How does your outlet label partnership or sponsored content?

Section 9

References

Name two comparable events or organizations you have partnered with, and a contact at each we may speak to

Anything else you would like us to know

Submitting does not commit either side to anything.
