Sponsor an Event
Why Sponsor An Event?
There are many great reasons to become a partner with a 501(c)3 organization like The Buttonwood Tree. Here are the top four:
Reason 1: Inexpensive advertising for your business
Depending on your sponsorship level, your branding will appear on our website, ticket pages, printed calendars and flyers, and be acknowledged verbally during weekend showcases, giving your business consistent visibility within a local and engaged arts community.
Reason 3: Help provide competitive payout to artists
We rely on door receipts to pay performers, and many world-class artists accept less than their usual rates. Event sponsorship allows us to offer more competitive compensation, helping attract high-quality talent while supporting emerging artists fairly.
Reason 2: Inexpensive advertising for your business
We currently charge $15 to $20 for most concerts. Your sponsorship can help reduce admission for students and North End residents who might not otherwise attend, making live performances more accessible while increasing community participation and audience diversity.
Reason 4: Help us operate
The Buttonwood Tree depends on ticket sales, concessions, and donations to operate on concert nights. Your sponsorship helps cover essential event costs, allowing us to reinvest revenue into programming, outreach, and long-term sustainability.
