If your company or philanthropic goals include creating a stronger Tompkins County, becoming a Cornerstone Partner can help reach those goals in tangible ways. We meet with our Cornerstone Partners to identify your goals and find ways to partner with you in meeting them.
How to Make a Cornerstone Partner Commitment:
Other Collateral Benefits to Being a Corporate Cornerstone Partner Include:
UWTC Print Coverage: Cornerstone Partners are listed by giving level bracket in our annual report, which is distributed throughout the county to community leaders, donors, funded agencies, and the public at large. The report is available at over 25 UWTC special and tabling events throughout the year.
Social Media & Website Coverage: Each Cornerstone Partner is highlighted on an individual social media post that gives an image from your business, a thank you “shout out,” and link to your website. Additionally, Cornerstone Partners are listed on our website.
E-Newsletter with 4,000+ local subscribers: Cornerstone Partners giving at the $500 or more level will appear on one of our bi-weekly e-newsletters. We will be working with your marketing personnel to determine what you would like to highlight about your business and your “why” for being a Cornerstone Partner and/or what you love about doing business in Tompkins County. We will also consider publishing at a time of year when you want to draw attention to your business for a particular reason. Cornerstone Partners who give at the Silver and above ranking will be featured individually; those giving at the Bronze level will be paired with other businesses who occupy a different sector.
UWTC Community Events: A large “step and repeat” banner is on display at several of our events including “Day of Caring” and our “Annual Celebration,” with Cornerstone Partners' logos ranked by level of giving.
