Corporate Sponsorship FAQ’s:

Why would I become a Foundry Community Corporate Sponsor?

The Foundry Community houses over 30 nonprofit or purpose-driven organizations in our building located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, just south of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln city campus. If your organization serves nonprofits or purpose-driven organizations in Lincoln or the state, this is a great way to show direct support for these groups and become more visible with them at the same time. In addition to housing office space for organizations, the greater Foundry community serves over 100 nonprofit and purpose-driven individuals and organizations throughout the year with annual memberships, the Intern Foundry (IF) program, conference room rentals, and events throughout the year in Lincoln. The Foundry Corporate Sponsorship Program provides increased visibility and connection for interested parties.
