Corporate Sponsorship

ARCH relies on the generosity of many individuals, organizations and companies to support our mission. Corporations have the capacity to provide financial, networking, consumer and other sponsorship support.

When your corporation sponsors ARCH, ARCH will return the favor by assisting in campaigns that pay tribute to that support. By participation in ARCH’s programs, your organization is giving the opportunity for Southeast youth and adults to succeed in life, grow in education and achieve their dreams.

ARCH will work with your organization to develop a package that will help you reach your goals, whether it is making an impact, tax benefits, recognition to our network or logo placement on our marketing materials and at special events.

Direct Donations: Companies can make contributions for any amount to support our mission or a specific program or campaign.

Cause-Related Marketing Promotions: With this type of promotion, a percentage of a company’s product revenues are donated to ARCH. Our trademark, logo or other material may be used to promote the affiliation with ARCH.

Consumer Donations: Retailers can enable their customers to add a contribution to their purchases. When merchandised at point-of-sale and throughout the organization, these programs successfully generate customer and employee goodwill.

Gift-in-Kind: Companies donate products or services to support the work of ARCH. Examples of generous contributions include books, software, vehicles, car rentals, hotel rooms and airfares.
Sponsorship: Through multiple annual sponsorships companies demonstrate their commitment to the youth in the DC Metropolitan are in a cost-effective and meaningful way.

Employee Involvement: Get a group or your organization to volunteer with one of ARCH’s programs (a day, a weekend or ongoing). Through sponsorship, matching gift or payroll deduction programs, Southeast youth will benefit. At the same time, company public relations, and employee/employer relations are greatly enhanced.

Foundation Support: Companies may donate funds or services through their foundation.
