Sponsorship

Our group depends on Sponsors to support us in many ways—by providing presenters, prize donations for drawings, venues, cash donations, or sometimes a combination of these, especially for major events.

We’re a registered 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit dedicated to advancing design and publishing knowledge. Many companies support us through community outreach, educational grants, or nonprofit donation programs.

Presenters

Our meeting presenters are often professionals in design and publishing, including those who create program-related tools or add-ons. Topics may cover how to use specific programs, related Adobe applications, or broader areas of interest to InDesign users such as typography, color management, or layout strategies.

Drawing Sponsors

Our organization is funded almost entirely through voluntary member donations. We also welcome prize donations from companies and individuals. These prizes add energy and engagement to our meetings while giving businesses a meaningful way to connect with a targeted, professional audience.

Prize donors fall into several categories:

• Major Sponsors donate prizes regularly throughout the year.
• Sponsors contribute occasionally, such as once or twice annually.
• One-Time Donors generously offer a single prize without an ongoing relationship.
• Themed Donations are prizes tied directly to the topic of a particular meeting—for example, color tools during a session on color correction, or typography products during a presentation on font features.

Acknowledgment

All donated prizes are recognized during our monthly meetings. Major prizes are also acknowledged in our weekly email newsletter. Every sponsor—whether one-time or ongoing—is permanently listed on our website with a brief write-up. Major Sponsors also have their logo featured on the site.

Discounts

Another great way for companies to support the group is by offering member-only discounts on products or services. This simple, effective gesture helps build brand awareness and an ongoing relationship with our community.

Major Events

If you're interested in sponsoring a major event—online or in person—we offer branding and promotional opportunities as part of the sponsorship.
