Our Partnership Opportunity Directory (POD) is a new tool to provide at-a-glance information on upcoming arts sponsorships to our corporate network.

The POD aims to facilitate more introductions to interested corporate partners and raise our arts members’ profiles with leading corporate prospects.

Our arts members can submit a partnership opportunity to be reviewed by Business to Arts for inclusion on the POD via our Members’ Portal.

In order to be featured on the POD, you will need to provide succinct information on your arts partnership proposition and include at least two strong images related to your partnership opportunity. The opportunity should have a lead time of at least 6-18 months. We can help you shape your pitch so it stands out on our POD.

If a business is interested in learning more after perusing the POD, we will request your full deck at that point to share with them, ideally leading to an introduction for a pitch session thereafter. We can provide assistance with brokering the partnership should you need it.

The POD is available for Business to Arts members.
