Corporate Partners
There are several ways for your company to support the arts in the Bay Area through an affiliation with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. These include becoming a YBCA Corporate Member, Corporate Sponsor, or a member of Corporate Council or a Corporate Underwriter. You can learn more about these options and determine which is best for your company by reviewing the information below.
For additional information on all of our Corporate Partnership Programs, please contact Charles Ward, Director of Development & Corporate Sponsorships by email or call 415.321.1341.
Corporate Sponsorship
Corporate Sponsorship opportunities are available for most YBCA programs. Sponsorships are individually tailored to meet the needs of the Sponsor and YBCA and are priced at $10,000 and up.
Each year more than 200,000 people attend our exhibitions, performances, screenings and community engagement programs. YBCA's audience is culturally active, highly-educated and affluent; the demographic profile that your company is likely to want to reach.
The breadth of YBCA's programming, combined with our status as one of the Bay Area's largest and most progressive arts organizations, enables us to provide Sponsors with a host of unique benefits and access to our diverse audiences. Sponsorships are designed to:
- Promote your brand, product or service
- Co-brand your business
- Reward employees
- Cultivate clients
YBCA staff will work with you to design a benefits package tailored to your company's particular business objectives.
