Essex National Heritage Area
FY 2011 Business Parternship Opportunities

Business contributions to Essex Heritage are a strong demonstration of your company’s investment in the unique quality of life we enjoy in the Essex National Heritage Area. As a business contributor, you are a partner in advancing the Essex Heritage mission – to preserve and promote the vast historic, cultural and natural resources of the region. Working closely with local community leaders and grassroots advocates, we will forge coalitions and partnerships that advance preservation, education, recreation, conservation and cultural tourism.

The Essex Heritage Business Partner Program has two aspects:

Mission-Based Giving to Support Operations:
Your tax-deductible gift will be used to support on-going mission-based operating costs of delivering support and technical assistance to 250+ heritage partners across Essex County.

2010 Mission-Based Giving Opportunities
• Corporate Membership
• Annual Giving
• Multi-year Pledge Giving
• Thomas M. Leonard Partnership Grant Fund for Youth Education

Program Sponsorship and Support:
Your tax-deductible sponsorship of specific Essex Heritage activities links your business to the Essex Heritage mission. Sponsorship opportunities provide unique exposure and the possibility to create valuable partnerships that extend beyond the life of a single event. By investing in sponsorship, you can create top-of-mind awareness of your business, service and products among Essex heritage constituents, align your business objectives with other regional leaders, demonstrate a visible commitment to community-building and involve your employees in opportunities that build community.
