Recently, financial holding companies have been reported through various media channels for their sponsorships to art groups. For example, Taishin financial holding company contributed millions of dollars to support the performance The Phantom of the Opera in Taiwan in 2006. And Cathay Financial Holdings supported Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan with 14 outdoor performances within the past five years. Both examples show how these companies emphasize on subsidizing art and culture activities. However, why these companies decide to sponsor, and how they choose suitable art and cultural activities?
The main purposes of this study are: to discuss the current situation that the financial holding companies sponsorship for art activities and to provide art groups and sponsors suggestions with the acknowledgement of support through relationships. To achieve these goals, a thorough literature review and case interview was conducted. The researcher took examples of four financial holding companies which own Wen-hsin Awards, analyzed the motivation behind the sponsorship, the content of sponsorship package, and evaluated the outcomes of the sponsorship. Finally, the behavior model of financial holding companies to sponsor arts and culture activities is made.
The results showed that the key factors to motivate sponsors¡¦ behavior are the company¡¦s social responsibility, benefit for business, and the proprietors¡¦ personal love for arts. It is also found that these four companies are interested in sponsoring the certain visual or performing art groups which hold exhibitions or large shows yearly; and mostly they do not pay much attention to evaluating their sponsorship outcomes.
