Sustainable Landcare Training Sponsorship | Audience: Local Government Partners, Participants

Through our Sustainable Landcare Program we create pathways to green jobs. We’re training an emerging workforce of young adults, ages 18–25, in underserved communities, ensuring they are the first to benefit from economic opportunities stemming from the millions of dollars invested in green infrastructure annually. Sponsorships carry out the program, hire experts and speakers in ecology and sustainable practices, provide training stipends to participants, and helps ensure a diverse training staff.

Event Sponsorship | Audience: Donors, Supporters, Workshop Attendees, Curious Gardeners

Your sponsorship supports Metro Blooms’ mission as we partner with communities to create resilient landscapes and foster clean watersheds. Our donor events are a great opportunity for your sponsorship to be front and center with our most engaged supporters, along with new, curious, folks interested in more sustainable land practices. Our events happen 3–4 times a year. We have our Coffee Chat events over Zoom that bring 100-200 people in attendance at each chat. We also have in-person events dedicated to our most dedicated supporters that bring around 40–60 people in attendance. We ask for your partnership so that together we can put our resources where they make the biggest difference, alongside the communities we serve.
