For a minimal fee, Greenlights’ Business Partners benefit from year-round promotion to thousands of nonprofit stakeholders!

Business Partner Benefits:

• Website listing on Greenlights' Business Partners & Discounts page (includes company name, logo, website and a description of the company and its special deal). Site averages 15,000+ visits per month.
  
  
• Logo visibility on Greenlights' homepage and other high traffic web pages such as, but not limited to, the Member Benefits, Member Directory and Business Partners & Discounts pages. Logo links to Business Partner's company description and special deal.
  
  
• Email marketing in Greenlights' monthly e-newsletter, Greenlights2Go, and a bi-annual email exclusively promoting Greenlights' Business Partners (each distributed to more than 7,000 nonprofit stakeholders).
  
  
• Recognition at Board Summit, an annual networking and board-matching event produced by Greenlights and Leadership Austin that introduces 50 nonprofits seeking innovative and diverse board members to 300+ business professionals interested in serving on a board. Business Partners' company logos are featured in the printed program. Representatives may register to attend. Watch what happened last year.
  
  
• Discounts on trainings and events make it easier to network with nonprofit stakeholders and decision-makers. Enjoy the same discounted rates as our nonprofit members!
  
  
• Advanced notice of sponsorship, exhibitor and marketing opportunities for prime placement at our events and in marketing materials. For example, Business Partners are encouraged to exhibit at the Texas Nonprofit Summit (September 20-21, 2012), the state's premier nonprofit management conference, to engage with 800 nonprofit leaders.
  
  
• Business Partner logo for your website and marketing materials to enhance your branding as a socially responsible business and convey your commitment to our nonprofit sector.

Business Partner Commitments:

• An annual fee of $500 will be used to offset Greenlights’ cost of providing professional development, consulting, networking and other services to the Central Texas nonprofit community. (This fee is only tax deductible as a business expense, not as a charitable gift.)
  
  
• Provide a discount or other special value to nonprofit customers (10-15% off services or goods is standard) throughout their participation in the program.
  
  
• Provide 2-3 nonprofit clients to use as references for interested parties to contact in learning more about your business. References will be shared upon request, and will not be publicized through Greenlights’ website

Please Note: Submission of the Business Partner application does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Businesses that provide services or products that directly compete with Greenlights’ services and products may not be accepted into the program.

Benefits begin three weeks after receipt of the $500 fee and completed application, and last for twelve months thereafter.  The following statement will be included at the top of the Business Partners & Discounts page:
