Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of sponsorship and patronage showing that these notions were wrongly applied interchangeably. We can notice the evolution from philanthropy charity, technical help to the building of corporate partnerships. The transnational corporations are nowadays determined to elaborate their own programs in which they underline their CSR rather than give the support to the arts and sports. Even countries and societies considered as BoP are taken into account in the new approach which links social aspects to new markets development. The cause related marketing analyzed on the example of American Express and Unilever is one of the more performing tools helping to gain recognition for the enterprise and to make advertisement for its products.
