Corporate Sponsorship

tack-room NARHA is always looking for opportunities to partner with companies that share our values and desire to help people through the power of the horse in a sponsorship arrangement. This gives responsible, progressive corporations a chance to show their support for our mission and our constituents while getting positive exposure and marketing in return. Corporate sponsorship allows your brand or product to directly appeal to the diverse and influential consumer group that is our members, our supporters, industry professionals, and participants of EAAT. The quantity and type of exposure is based on your company’s commitment level, which we welcome you to discuss with our CEO and marketing department.

There are several types of sponsorships and various ways you can partner your brand or company with NARHA.

Round-Up for NARHA

This promotion is a program that encourages businesses to utilize their existing business structure to generate additional funds for NARHA and its programs. The “Round-Up for NARHA” initiative has two ways a business can get involved. The first is an outreach fundraiser that targets in-store and internet purchasing consumers. The alternative opportunity is for businesses that do not have or manage retail outlets to allocate a small percentage of the entities’ gross sales to NARHA.

The program will provide an opportunity to promote NARHA and its mission, recognize participating businesses for their cause related support and portray them as concerned, cause and community conscience organizations. NARHA will promote a business’ participation on its website in conjunction with its media partners and their forums (i.e. magazine, internet). Participation will also be promoted in NARHA’s official quarterly print publication Strides and its e-newsletter.

For businesses or entities that are interested in using the NARHA membership database, a formal request must be submitted to NARHA’s CEO for use of the mailing list, along with an explanation of the specific purpose or use of the list.
