You won’t find Sophisticated Living everywhere, just anywhere that matters.
It’s not just an ad...we believe it’s a partnership with a beneficial and satisfying investment. We create unique opportunities for relationships to develop into sales, and we want you to be part of our inner circle. Our awardwinning editorial has become the leading multi-channel marketing resource, delivered to consumers’ doorsteps, inboxes and social media feeds.
Sophisticated Giving Charity Register was established in 2015 to showcase local nonprofits to the Sophisticated Living audience–those who can make significant contributions of time, talent and treasure to your organization. The Charity Register, bundled annually with the November/ December issue of Sophisticated Living, is the most comprehensive guide to nonprofit organizations and philanthropic initiatives in Indianapolis.
We’ve designed substantially reduced rates for the giving guide to encourage widespread participation from nonprofits throughout our community. The two-page format provides ample space for each organization to create a persuasive profile, and a comprehensive annual event calendar ensures that the book will be used throughout the year. For corporations interested in furthering their philanthropic initiatives, we can craft a package to sponsor one or more of your chosen nonprofits.
