Become a Friend of the Festival Sponsor
Join us as a Friend of the Festival sponsor, a network of key donors whose contributions are vital to the success of this
community education and engagement event that raises funds for the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin’s (EAC) mission.
Sponsorship Packages
We offer several sponsorship packages that provide you with perks, and help us fundraise for our mission. Donations are 100% tax-deductible (minus any benefits). And here’s the best part—thanks to our Matching Sponsors, all donations up to $20,000 will be matched, doubling your impact! All donors are recognized in our print, web, and social media marketing, plus at all events over the festival weekend.
We would be delighted to discuss a sponsorship level that’s the perfect fit for you. Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with us in celebrating and preserving the natural beauty of coastal Marin County. Together, let’s protect what we love and get outside to learn more about it this spring! Please contact us directly if you would like to learn more.
Why Sponsor the Festival?
1. Community Engagement & Education
This highly-anticipated event draws hundreds of bird enthusiasts, families, and nature lovers from Marin, the Bay Area, and beyond to learn about our local coastal treasures. Our festival creates a unique atmosphere of wonder, exploration, and appreciation for nature, and acts as an excellent platform for you to connect with a vibrant, engaged community that shares a passion for nature and conservation. Your support helps us to bring in expert guides, provide honorariums and guide/volunteer shirts, keynote speakers and programs, a free Sunday family day with live bird ambassadors and activities, and scholarships, while also supporting our local economy, nonprofits, businesses, musicians, and artists and so much more.
2. Visibility
Your name/logo will be prominently displayed on print and digital promotional materials including the website, registration site, direct mail, socials, e-newsletters, and during the weekend events at our festival hub, social gathering keynotes, and family fun day programming, giving you high visibility before, during, and after the festival. Want to support privately? We can list you as anonymous too!
3. Support Coastal Protection
By sponsoring, you support EAC’s 53+ year legacy of protecting the unique lands, waters, and biodiversity of coastal Marin County. Since 1971, we have achieved milestones in coastal and marine protection, from safeguarding habitats along Tomales Bay and Dunes to securing bans on offshore oil and gas development. Point Reyes National Seashore provides the main backdrop for our festival, which offers some of the finest birding in the United States with over 70,000 acres of habitat including estuaries, grasslands, coastal scrub, and forest with a strong influence from the Pacific Ocean. We're talking about one of the only ten federally protected seashores in the entire United States! Imagine the Pacific Flyway, the mighty Pacific Ocean, and a myriad of influences converging into the perfect backdrop for an unparalleled birding and wildlife viewing experience. Learn more about the area’s unique resources here, plus more on plants, birding, and wildlife at Point Reyes National Seashore which defines much of the festival experience.
