Corporate Sponsorship
 

Corporate Sponsorship Information Summary 

The HUBZone Council's new Corporate Sponsorship program is the best Council membership choice for companies that provide products and services of value to HUBZone-certified companies.  

HUBZone certification is not required for Corporate Sponsors. 

Law firms, accounting firms, technology providers, trade associations, and professional service firms are among those companies that typically become corporate sponsors.  Major prime government contractors and manufacturers can use Corporate Sponsorship to develop relationships with HUBZone-certified suppliers and service providers to enhance their contract proposals and capabilities. 

If your company would like to get its message out to the entire HUBZone business community, consider Corporate Sponsorship.  
 
Corporate Sponsorship is available at three levels.  Dues are invoiced in four quarterly installments.  Sponsorships are annual commitments and become active upon receipt of the first installment.

• Bronze - $5,000 per year ($7,645+ value)

Dues payments, contributions, and gifts are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes; however, they may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Two percent (2%) of membership dues is allocated for lobbying-related activities and therefore is non-deductible as a business expense for federal income tax purposes. (Subject to change.) [IRC 162(e) and 6033(e)].

The Council accepts members regardless of race, creed, sex, color,
physical disability, and national or ethnic origin.
