Corporate partnership with the National MS Society, Minnesota Chapter
Thank you so much for your interest in corporate partnership opportunities with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Minnesota Chapter. Partnering with the Minnesota Chapter is not only a good community investment … it is also a good business investment! You will find that contributing to a community cause does just as much to help achieve your business goals as it does to achieve movement toward a world free of MS. By sponsoring a local special event or program, you are using one of the most powerful marketing tools available today. Through sponsorship your company can:
- Align your company with a well-respected 501(c)(3) organization with a broad base of devoted consumers.
- Market directly to specific targeted audiences and have “hands on” interaction with that market.
- Create awareness of your corporate identify and demonstrate your investment in the community.
- Portray a positive image to your current stakeholders, as well as a new audience of potential employees and customers.
- Provide a great opportunity for employee involvement, whether it is team-building in a group volunteer experience or training for an event.
- Activate your partnership with year-round promotional opportunities for your company and product.
Corporate Partnership Opportunities
By sponsoring an event with a donation, you can help us keep our expenses low so that more money raised can go to support our mission. In return, you will be prominently promoted throughout the Chapter as an official partner. There are two ways you can sponsor an event or program:
- Provide a cash donation to underwrite the expenses of the event.
- Provide in-kind product such as food, supplies, vehicles, or media time; or in-kind service such as truck drivers, medical personnel, communications staff, graphic designers, or bike shop mechanics.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society values all of its corporate partners, without whom, we would not be able to carry out the various events and programs we do. There are a wide range of corporate sponsorship opportunities, including Chapter-wide sponsorship, event sponsorship and program sponsorship. As a corporate partner, we will match you up with the program or event that provides the best demographic base for meeting your goals and objectives. Depending on the size and type of partnership, you may be promoted in the following ways:
- Logo or name recognition in printed materials, including brochures, posters, invitations, banners, t-shirts, trading cards, table tents and more.
- Potential for online exposure, utilizing our Web site or inclusion in our e-communications.
- Potential for media exposure through media partnerships, PR efforts and advertising.
- Cross-promotion opportunities with other corporate partners.
