Becoming a sponsor of the Vermont Center for Photography is one of the most direct and effective ways an individual or local business can contribute to ensure that VCP will remain a vital and thriving organization in our community. As a non-profit organization, we rely so heavily on the support of our members, friends, and community – we simply could not do it without you!
Monetary sponsorships often range anywhere from $100 to $5000, but can be customized to suit your financial abilities – no amount is too little! Do keep in mind that as a 501c3 Non Profit organization, all sponsorships are tax-deductible.
Sponsor an Exhibition: ( $500 – $2,500 )
As a sponsor for a particular exhibition of your choosing, you/your business will be advertised extensively for the duration of the exhibition on our website, email newsletter, on all printed promotional materials (Postcard, Poster, local ads…etc), as well as custom signage mounted in the gallery for the duration of the exhibit. All sponsors also receive a personal invite to our private Members & Donors Thank-You Party each year.
Annual Sustaining VCP Sponsor: ( $2,500 – $10,000 )
As a year-long sponsor, aside from our endless appreciation and thankfulness, you will receive extensive advertisement for 1 year on our website, email newsletter, on all printed promotional materials (Postcard, Poster, local ads…etc), as well as custom signage mounted in the gallery for 1 year. All sponsors also receive a personal invite to our private Members & Donors Thank-You Party each year.
In-kind Sponsor: We do understand that while not every business or individual may be able to make monetary contributions, they may be able to offer their product or services, which we are also happy to treat as a sponsorship. Some examples of in-kind sponsorships are food & drink for receptions, phone/internet service, darkroom chemicals, camera equipment, framing/matting materials, computer/printer equipment – or services such as electricians/carpenters, painters, book-keepers..etc.
