How to Become A Sponsor

Rebuilding Together Seattle home and facility renovations are made possible through the generous financial support of our sponsors. They include corporations, foundations, community groups, congregations, and individuals.

Your company or organization can sponsor RTS in many ways:

REBUILD DAY SPONSOR:
Rebuild Day sponsors help underwrite our one-day renovation events and impact all of Rebuilding Together Seattle’s programs. Sponsors provide a financial contribution and – if you wish – a team of volunteers to work on a home or nonprofit facility project. There are several ways to get involved – you can determine the level of commitment that best suits your organization.

Rebuild Day Sponsorship Benefits:
Builds company team spirit, immediate results within limited time commitment, saves community resources and tax dollars, 100% tax-deductible donation, local and national recognition, instills personal and corporate feelings of ownership, pride, and accomplishment, connects businesses to their local communities, increases understanding of community housing needs, beautifies and revitalizes your local neighborhood and city

RTS Provides:
Homeowners and houses, coordination, skilled volunteers, additional volunteers as needed, building material budget, publicity and recognition, project leaders, T-shirts, RTS website recognition, RTS staff and board involvement

OPERATIONS SPONSOR:
In order to execute RTS’s outreach, fundraising, and program activities at the office, RTS depends on annual grants and donations from businesses and individuals that can go towards particular projects or general operational expenses. RTS also has an updated “Wish List” of needed office and warehouse items.

IN-KIND SPONSOR:
RTS is grateful for the donations we receive from businesses and individuals. Some companies donate their own products, such as paint, wood, new appliances, office supplies, or work tools, and others offer their professional services on rebuild sites or at the RTS office.

PUBLICITY SPONSOR:
Each year RTS is featured in local publications such as the Puget Sound Business Journal, as part of our communications plan. RTS needs the help of companies that support RTS’s mission and are willing to underwrite advertising cost(s). Publicity sponsors enable RTS to gain new sponsors, donors, and volunteers, without taking funding away from rebuild projects and overhead expenses.

EVENT SPONSOR:
Each year, RTS looks for businesses or organizations that have interest in loaning event spaces, donating auction items, or underwriting event costs. RTS has at least two events per year, one hosted by RTS’s Young Professionals Society.

HOLES FOR HOMES SPONSOR:
In October, RTS partners with our South Sound affiliate in our annual “Holes for Homes” golf tournament. There are many tournament sponsorship opportunities for businesses and individuals.
