Sponsorships
As a sponsor of SustainEd Farms, your company will align itself with a mission-driven organization that is at the forefront of sustainable and equitable farming and experiential education. SustainEd Farm’s mission is unique in that it allows for hands-on involvement tending to gardens, which directly impact students’ educational opportunities and the local communities’ access to fresh food. The support that is provided to SustainEd reduces health disparities by engaging low-income students and their communities in tending to gardens that provide fresh produce that goes directly to their tables at home, bridging the gap between lack of access and knowledge about healthy food.
By supporting SustainEd Farms, your company will showcase its commitment to environmental sustainability, social equity, and corporate responsibility. In return for your sponsorship, your brand will gain substantial exposure through our various marketing channels, events, and community programs. Your employees will also be provided with unique opportunities to meaningfully volunteer in the Denver community and in turn, make a long-lasting impact in the lives of the individuals receiving fresh food from the farms.
