Benefits to ERI business sponsors

ERI is honored to recognize its business supporters in numerous ways, customizable to your unique needs. On top of the positive change you will be empowering in your community, potential recognition benefits include:

Website recognition

Social media recognition

Recognition is customizable and dynamic. When you sponsor a Resilience Cohort community or McKinney Climate Fellow, the government or nonprofit you’re supporting will be informed of your generosity and invited to share that with their audiences. Businesses are an important part of the solution to climate change, and sharing that message with ERI’s audience amplifies our impact. It also shows your clients and customer base that you’re taking meaningful action for a greener Midwest. Support for ERI constitutes a tax-deductible donation to the extent allowed by law.
