Our planet needs help. Our culture is evolving rapidly. Change seems to be coming at an ever-increasing pace.

Everyone is being called to participate in the next phase of our societal development, including corporations, sports organizations, entertainment entities, non-profits and government agencies.

One route for this necessary evolution is through partnership, including corporate sponsorship of organizations working to advance commitments to sustainability, community support and the overall social good.

Creative and sustainable partnerships are needed at the local, national, and global levels in order to build an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future for all people and our planet.

For more than 20 years, we have addressed sustainability and other social cause actions through strategic sponsorships that fund major developments, events, venues and programs. We were doing “purpose” way before it was a thing.

Out of a sense of personal commitment to the environment and to the health and happiness of younger generations, Kevin Bartram and his network of specialists have established Sustainable Sponsorships as a dedicated practice.

It is our deep intention to drive innovative partnerships that generate substantial, material value for corporate partners in return for their investment in organizations and properties committed to lifting society through innovation, technology, civic engagement and new ways of thinking.

Sustainable Sponsorships develops and activates highly effective partnership programs involving major brands and sponsored properties. The result stimulates the overall economy, generating growth and revenue for the partners involved, while simultaneously creating a positive, sustainable impact on the communities served.

We are committed to driving action that addresses as many of these goals as possible, in the US and beyond.

Bottom line

No matter the client, our objective is to establish mutually beneficial sustainable partnerships that drive action for society. Our most successful projects and programs result in wins for all involved – our clients, their partners, and the community stakeholders they serve.

We develop and activate effective sponsorship programs that include some combination of naming rights, sustainability initiatives, experiential marketing programs, special events, media platforms and community engagement.
