The Arboretum’s enhanced Business Partnership Program builds strong relationships with companies and provides resources for business growth – think offsite, natureinspired team-building and strategic-planning work sessions. At the same time it develops a sustainable pipeline of annual support to ensure the beauty of the Arboretum grounds, strengthens the impact of essential environmental educational experiences for learners of all ages, and increases the Arboretum's ability to scale conservation and research initiatives for local and global economic impact. To create an ecosystem in which both the Arboretum and business partners thrive, partnership offers companies opportunities to grow through uniquely Arboretum offerings and incentives designed to grow teams, increase employee engagement and morale, and provide nature-based resources to help boost your bottom line. Annual Support contributors are connected with Arboretum resources through a corporate concierge and Arboretum Rewards Program. Up to 10% of an annual contribution may be used on Arboretum products or services such as single-day admission tickets for staff or charges for events and meetings hosted at the Arboretum. Recognition in Arboretum-owned media, discounts on everyday small group access for employees, and priority access to team volunteer opportunities are other pluses. This expanded program offers companies the opportunity to invest unrestricted Annual Support dollars at various levels in exchange for special Arboretum facility access for staff retreats and strategic planning sessions as well as for employees to simply enjoy healthy, green family fun during their off-the-clock hours. Grants, sponsorship, matching gifts, and in-kind contributions are also highly appreciated and encouraged. Recognition and benefits are customized to fit each contribution made. The growing season is here! Come grow your business with us.
