Grow Together Community Program

Dear Potential Sponsor,

I am thrilled to introduce the Grow Together Program, an initiative dedicated to fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and the environment within our Wilmington community! As someone who has been passionately teaching science and biology for over a decade, I am eager to share my love for the natural world through this program.

The Grow Together Program aims to provide free educational opportunities for adults and K-12 students in our community. These classes will cover a range of topics designed to empower green thumbs and cultivate an understanding and love for plants and the environment. The Plant Ecologist, my business, is committed to plant education and community engagement, and this program is a perfect embodiment of that mission!

However, to bring this vision to life, I need the support of dedicated sponsors like you. Your sponsorship will enable me to offer these classes at no cost to participants, making nature education accessible to everyone in Wilmington.

In return for your generous support, your business will enjoy a variety of tailored perks, including:

  • Brand Visibility: Your logo will be prominently displayed on event materials, ensuring your brand is seen by a wide audience.
  • Social Media Shoutouts: Dedicated posts highlighting your support will be shared across our social media platforms, reaching our engaged followers.
  • Press Release Mentions: Your business will be acknowledged in press releases, showcasing your commitment to community and education.
  • Free Team Building Opportunities: As a token of our appreciation, we will offer free team-building workshops for your team, providing a unique and enriching experience.

We welcome sponsorships from for-profit businesses, individuals, and nonprofit organizations alike. Your contribution will make a significant impact, helping us cultivate a community that values and understands the importance of our natural environment.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with The Plant Ecologist and support the Grow Together Program. Together, we can build a community of nature enthusiasts and environmental stewards!

Warm regards,
Gabriella
Scientist, Educator, & Founder of The Plant Ecologist
