Sponsorships for FRAMED
Why sponsor this one
This is not the fourth annual anything. FRAMED is the first art show fundraiser in Habitat for Humanity of Durham’s forty-year history — and the sponsors who put their names on year one get to be the ones who were there before it was obvious. The room will hold Durham’s arts community, its housing advocates, its elected officials, its press, and a good number of people who have never been to a Habitat event in their lives. Admission is $10 on purpose. We want the room mixed.
And the return is unusually clean: every dollar of sponsorship goes to building and repairing homes in Durham. Sponsorship underwrites the evening so that Habitat’s 30% share of art sales stays intact and goes to the work — not to the venue, the bar, or the printer.
In forty years we’ve created nearly 500 homes and completed close to 1,000 repairs, financed at zero-percent interest. Your logo goes on the next one.
