Invitation, Guidelines & Benefits
The Idaho Green Expo invites organizations that support our objectives to join us in helping to produce this unique and important community-oriented event. The Expo has been designated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by the IRS.
Event Sponsorship is a mutually beneficial partnership. Sponsorship provides “green” businesses, organizations, products and services with enhanced visibility among those who attend the Expo as well as to a much larger audience leading up to the event. At the same time, Sponsors provide the cash and in-kind support necessary for us to reach an increasingly broad audience and offer a quality event.
Can Anyone Be A Sponsor?
The simple answer to that question is.maybe. Our preference will be to obtain Sponsors that include companies whose products, services and/or operations have (or will soon have) appreciably reduced environmental impacts, and move in the direction of long-term sustainability.
However, we understand that many companies, although very supportive of the "green" movement, are either not in the business of selling green products or services, or have not yet been able to make significant changes in their operations. For those companies, we would ask that with their support of GreenWorks and the Idaho Green Expo, they provide us with the green message they want to convey to the general public by their association and support of our organization.
Government or nonprofit organizations whose objectives are consistent with GreenWorks and the Idaho Green Expo are also encouraged to be Sponsors. Sponsors that demonstrate a commitment to the Idaho Green Expo's goals will be the most desirable.
Sustaining Sponsorships (NEW!)
GreenWorks Idaho is embarking on a new sponsorship program that will provide even more value, at the same investment as last year’s sponsorships. By becoming a Sustaining Sponsor of GreenWorks Idaho, you will be able to enjoy additional benefits beyond your association with the Expo. Your business will gain additional exposure as you become a partner with GreenWorks, year round, in our attempts to promote green businesses, help existing businesses become “greener” and to educate Idahoans on how to live more sustainable lives.
The Sustaining Sponsor Program is very simple. As soon as you sign-up and make your first sponsorship payment, your Sustaining Sponsorship benefits will begin. Those benefits are listed in each of the following sections, in a green font. We even have a new automatic monthly payment plan if that is of interest to you.
