Business Partners Investment Opportunities
As an integral part of the vibrant Front Range business community, the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship invites your company to increase its visibility via a business partnership.
We value your support. By engaging as a partner with the Deming Center, your business provides leadership for fundamental opportunities and services to students, faculty, and the business community. Our business partners lead these efforts by providing 1) philanthropic investments and in-kind goods and services and 2) by being an event partner host to the Center.
Business Investment Partners
Business partners, like individual donors, provide financial and in-kind support for particular areas of interest. Some partners provide general operating support. Others help fund specific programs such as scholarships, fellowships, student groups, or faculty research. Still others choose to host events. Donations of goods or services are also considered and welcome. Our aim is to tie your interests in with the Center’s strategic priorities to best serve your company as well as the students, faculty, and business community.
Investment opportunities vary; a typical engagement is $5,000 per year. Partners are recognized on our website, with rotating “featured sponsor” recognition, and in our Annual Report.
Event Host PartnersThe Deming Center helps nurture the eco-system of entrepreneurship in the Front Range by creating opportunities for students and faculty to interact with the business community in various sectors.
