Spanish term or phrase: sino que pasa a ser

En este año fiscal 2013, la celebración de cumpleaños será una actividad enfocada no solamente a dar cumplimiento a una actividad, sino también estamos pretendiendo que sea un espacio motivador, inclusivo y complementario de las diferentes actividades planificada del proyecto salud, retomando la oferta programática que dice que patrocinio ya no es un proyecto aislado sino que pasa a ser patrocinio en la programación.

; it is becoming

Explanation:
I would leave out the 'but' - just put a semicolon and say 'it is becoming . . .'

I think the translation should be in the present progressive, not the future.

but/becomes

Explanation:
La idea es que no es patrocinio no es proyecto aislado sino que se transforma o se vuelve un patrocinio en la programación. Yo diría que una buena opción es "but" directamente:
"...isolated project but a..."

Sino también "becomes" es una buena opción. En el link hay algunos sinónimos de "become" que capaz te sirven para armar la oración de otra forma.
Espero que te sirva. Saludos!

rather, it becomes

Explanation:
Spanish 'sino' introduces a stronger logical opposition than is conveyed by English 'but'. What's needed is something along the lines of 'No, it's not X; instead, it's Y' or 'X is not the case, but rather Y'. Another way is: 'X is not the case; rather, what is happening is Y'. I think the last is best, cleanest, and clearest.

So my suggestion is to use a semicolon and then introduce a new, independent clause beginning with 'rather, it becomes...': "...it's no longer an isolated project; rather, it becomes a sponsored element of our programming."

"The supply chain function is not in the background in driving the company's strategic performance; rather, it becomes part of the steering team..." investor.e2open.com/common/mobile/iphone/releasedetail.cfm?...‎

The clause beginning with 'rather' can, in fact, be a separate sentence, and often is. In this case, though, I think joining it via semicolon with what comes before, is a good way to go. Anyway, here's an example of the separate-sentence approach (with no comma after 'Rather', something I think is a (frequent) mistake, or at the very least not advisable.

"If we know about it, its presence does not harm us. Rather it becomes a useful tool to handle to achieve the most impossible of all things in life."
