Special Opportunities

Event-Specific Packages

Why Adjust the Numbers?
• Market Realities: The student population, regional business landscape, and donor pool at a small liberal arts college are more modest compared to larger institutions. Adjusting the tiers ensures accessibility for local businesses and aligns with the college’s communitydriven mission.
• Division III Focus: DIII institutions thrive on community engagement and participation rather than the highdollar sponsorships seen in larger divisions. Emphasizing relationship-based sponsorships resonates better with DIII values.
• Sponsorship Goals: While the top tier remains impactful for higher-level contributors, lowering the entry points encourages broader participation from the community and alumni.
