Sponsorship Opportunities

Friends of Trees welcomes sponsors for all of our 2008-09 planting projects. Our upcoming planting schedule listing the projects will be posted on our web site in September. Businesses contribute a minimum of $2,500 for a sponsorship.

By sponsoring a planting, your company will receive direct benefits beyond those of improving our environment and building community, including the following publicity:

  • Recognition in a press release about the planting and in a press release submitted to the Community Helpers column of The Oregonian.
  • Logo and link on Friends of Trees' sponsorship page and name on two additional pages of Friends of Trees' web site, which receives more than 75,000 visits per year.
  • Company name on Friends of Trees' 2007-08 printed planting schedule, which is distributed at outreach events throughout the Portland-Vancouver metro area.
  • Company name on the planting schedule and in a separate story in our printed newsletter, Tree Connections, which is distributed to 3,000 people.
  • Name in thank-you column in e-Tree Connections, distributed to 4,000 people.
  • Oral recognition in opening remarks at the planting event.
  • Opportunity for employee involvement in planting event and photos.
  • Short report after the event describing the project's accomplishments.
  • If you sponsor a Neighborhood Trees planting, your company logo will also be printed on attractive tree labels for each tree planted in the sponsored neighborhood on the planting date.
  • Many businesses choose to sponsor several plantings during a season. Friends of Trees also welcomes a wide range of contributions such as in-kind donations of food and drinks for our planting events.
