    Our Partners

    And sponsorship opportunities

    As a not-for-profit group, Emerge: Harvey County relies on partnerships with area business and industry. Keeping the dues as low as possible encourages membership, which benefits not only you as the member, but also your employer and the entire local economy by having more engaged and informed citizens and a larger tax base. Businesses can contribute to the greater cause in several ways:

    In-kind Support

    Emerge incurs regular expenses of printing marketing material, logoed apparel, food and space for events, website maintenance, etc. By offering your services to our organization, you provide support to the entire community, gain exposure for your business, and allow for a significant tax deduction.

    Sponsorships

    Become an annual sponsor. Being an Emerge annual sponsor comes with a lot of great benefits, and we offer 4 different levels of sponsorship to best suite your business. A Bronze level sponsorship is $75/year, a Silver level is $150/year, a gold level is $500/year, and platinum sponsorship is $1000/year. Click HERE to learn more about our sponsorship opportunities!

    Event Sponsorships

    Being an event sponsor can help us cover the cost of putting on an event. It’s a fantastic way to expose a young demographic to the work that you do, thereby adding new customers who already spend time here in Harvey County. Be on the lookout for event sponsorship opportunities on our Facebook page!
