Why Become a National Corporate Sponsor?
Investing in a corporate sponsorship with The Arc isn’t just the right thing to do—it also makes smart business sense. There are four key ROIs your business will reap by creating a sponsorship:
It promotes a positive brand.
Joining forces with The Arc will allow you tell to your customers that you are taking a stand to
support equality and fairness for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
It increases brand awareness.
The Arc has nearly 600 chapters across the country with over 131,000 staff. That is a significant
number of new potential customers learning about your company’s support through The
Arc’s promotion of your sponsorship.
It reaches a wider demographic.
Imagine the new demographics that The Arc will enable you to reach—expert professionals,
dedicated self-advocates, fiercely loyal family members and other unpaid caregivers, and
passionate direct support workers. There are over 7 million people with IDD in the United
States and over 80 million family members who love and care for them.
It enhances the customer experience.
For the vast majority of customers, supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is a shared value.
Executives, board members, self-advocates, staff members, families, and thought leaders come to The Arc’s events for new ideas, products, and services to take their work to the next level. Our National Corporate Sponsorship packages allow you to interact with our network throughout the year in person and through our marketing channels, driving maximum value for our sponsors.
