Sponsorship Opportunities

 
 

Thank you for considering corporate support of Blue Ridge Conservancy’s land conservation work. When you and your business make a donation to BRC, you’re joining a group that includes businesses like Mast General Store, Footsloggers, M Prints Screenprinting, Stick Boy Bread Company, Lynn Willis Photography, Bistro Roca, and many, many more.

 
 

Newsletter Sponsorship

When your business sponsors our newsletter, your business name and logo receives prominent placement in the publication. The portion of the total cost of the newsletter your business supports determines the prominence of placement. The BRC newsletter is mailed to our mailing list of over 2,300 supporters and it is distributed at various businesses throughout our seven-county region. BRC publishes an annual newsletter each spring.

 

Save The Date Card

Each spring, BRC mails out a “Save The Date” card to our 2,300 supporters that includes details and dates for all of our public hikes, Kids in Nature hikes, and events.  We typically engage one or two sponsors for the card.

 
 
 

Event Sponsorship

BRC’s annual events are a fantastic opportunity to show your corporate support to our core group of supporters. A variety of options and levels are available in this area. For example, you might underwrite our Annual Auction, sponsor the BRC 5k and Fun Run, or sponsor a special BRC hike in your businesses’ service area.

Land Trust Day

An excellent and creative way to give your corporate support to BRC, Land Trust Day occurs every year on the first Saturday of June. Businesses pledge a percentage of their sales to BRC from this Saturday – usually anywhere from 1% to 20%. Some merchants choose to simply donate a lump sum in support of Land Trust Day.

 
 
 
 

Corporate Donation

Unassociated with any BRC event or publication, you can make an easy, annual corporate donation to BRC.
