Why sponsor with the Chamber?

Variety of Events

By hosting a wide array of events, the chamber aims to offer sponsorship opportunities to businesses across various industries and sectors. Our events are carefully designed to prioritize community involvement, ensuring that your participation provides exceptional opportunities for networking and ultimately strengthens your business’s growth potential.

Community Involvement

Consumers are interested in supporting businesses that are deeply rooted in their communities and show a commitment to them.

Marketing and Reputation

Sponsoring the chamber is an excellent way to showcase your business’s commitment to the local community and its growth. By aligning your brand with the chamber, you gain credibility and build a positive reputation among community members.

Total Resource Campaign (TRC)

One coordinated campaign, planned ahead.

The TRC is the Chamber’s annual, focused fundraising and marketing campaign: a one-stop shop of sponsorship, advertising and promotional opportunities tied to chamber events, programs, publications and digital media.

  • Campaign window

    This year’s TRC window opens November 18 and runs through December 19.

  • Renewals first

    Prior-year sponsors get a first right of refusal window (e.g., the first three weeks) to renew. Then remaining opportunities open to all members.

  • Open to members

    All current Chamber members can browse and commit. New members can participate in their first year.

  • Pay later

    Commit during the window; you are invoiced about 30 days before each event.

TRC questions, answered.

  • The TRC is our Chamber’s annual, focused fundraising and marketing campaign. It offers members a one-stop “shop” of sponsorship, advertising and promotional opportunities tied to chamber events, programs, publications and digital media. The funds raised help underwrite our non-dues revenue base, enabling us to deliver expanded resources and services to you — our members.

  • Sponsorship revenue generated through the TRC enables us to build capacity, deliver high-impact programs and increase member value without relying solely on dues. By offering sponsorship opportunities in a coordinated, packaged format, you gain planning certainty and visibility options, and we maximize our ability to serve the community.

  • Participating businesses gain:

    • Increased exposure to fellow members, region-wide stakeholders and the community.
    • Access to premium marketing real estate (event branding, program sponsorships, digital promotions) at negotiated chamber rates.
    • Enhanced return on investment by aligning your marketing and networking efforts with a trusted organization and engaged audience.
    • The ability to plan ahead — you know the opportunities early and can build your budget accordingly.
  • Here is an overview:

    • Campaign Window: This year, the TRC window will open on November 18th through December 19th.
    • During the open period, all available sponsorship and marketing packages are listed in the online TRC Portal/Opportunity Guide.
    • Existing sponsors from the prior year receive a “first right of refusal” window (e.g., the first three weeks of the campaign) to renew their previous packages.
    • Once that period ends, remaining opportunities become available to all members and new members.
    • After the campaign, you are invoiced 30 days prior to the event(s) you commit to. Payment terms, cancellation policy and any multi-year options will be outlined in your commitment form.
  • All current Chamber members are eligible to browse, select and commit to TRC sponsorship and marketing opportunities.

    New members may join at any time and, if joined within their first year of membership, are eligible to participate in the TRC for that year. (Note: If you join after the campaign window closes, timing and eligibility will be confirmed with staff.)

  • No, you only need to commit during the campaign window to secure your package. Your actual invoice will be issued approx. 30 days prior to the event and payment is expected then. If you are committing to multiple events, the invoices may be staggered accordingly.

  • The TRC portal lists dozens of options — from major signature-event sponsorships to smaller program advertising slots. For example, sponsorships may range from approximately $250 to $5,000 or more, depending on the size, reach and benefits. (Refer to the Opportunity Guide for current pricing, benefits, quantities and availability.)

  • Yes — the TRC recognizes loyalty. Existing sponsors are offered first right of renewal each year (as noted above).

  • You can view the full Opportunity Guide and submit your commitments through the TRC Portal. If you prefer a printed guide or wish to request a customized package, contact us at (386) 752-3690 or [email protected].

  • The funds support the Chamber’s operational capacity: event production, member programs, leadership development, advocacy, community initiatives and marketing enhancements. By sponsoring through the TRC, you help strengthen the business-ecosystem of our region while gaining visibility for your company.

  • For any questions regarding the TRC — please contact the Chamber at (386) 752-3690 or [email protected] and someone will be able to assist!
