We have intentionally separated membership from sponsorship. Membership is about connection, belonging, and participation. Sponsorship is about visibility and investment. This structure helps us keep membership welcoming and affordable, while giving sponsors a meaningful way to support the Gaymber’s work and show up for the LGBTQ+ and allied business community.
Explore the sponsorship levels below to find an option that aligns with your desired level of support and visibility.
A simple, visible way to show your support.
Mesquite sponsorship is a great option for businesses that want to be publicly recognized as supporters of the Gaymber. This level provides baseline visibility across our digital platforms and sponsor listings, along with an invitation to our annual Sponsor Reception.
Best for businesses looking to show support and be counted among our sponsors without a larger marketing commitment.
Benefits:
Increased visibility with added recognition.
Agave sponsorship builds on the Mesquite level by offering additional brand presence through newsletter recognition and enhanced Gaymber Store discounts.
This level is well suited for businesses that want consistent visibility throughout the year and a stronger association with the Gaymber’s work.
Benefits:
Visibility with direct community impact.
Ocotillo sponsorship includes expanded logo placement and event recognition, along with underwriting one Small Business membership each year. In addition to increased visibility, this level directly helps remove financial barriers for LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs in our community.
Ideal for sponsors who want their support to be both visible and meaningful.
Benefits:
Our highest level of support and recognition.
Saguaro sponsorship offers the greatest visibility across Gaymber platforms and events, along with recognition in our Annual Impact Report. This level underwrites two Small Business memberships annually, creating tangible access and opportunity for local LGBTQ+ business owners.
Best for organizations that want to make a lasting, measurable investment in the Gaymber and the community we serve.
Benefits:
At the Ocotillo and Saguaro sponsorship levels, support goes beyond visibility. These sponsorships directly underwrite Small Business memberships for LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who may otherwise face financial barriers to joining the Gaymber. Interested businesses may opt in through a brief application process.
This approach helps keep our community accessible, diverse, and representative, while ensuring that sponsorship dollars create real, local impact. Underwritten memberships are designed to expand access without creating hierarchy or obligation within the Gaymber community.
Interested in receiving a sponsored membership?
Recipients of sponsored memberships are recognized as full Gaymber members with all associated rights and benefits. Sponsors are acknowledged publicly as underwriters of these memberships.
Individual recipients’ names are only shared with sponsors if the recipient chooses to consent.
Sponsored memberships are reviewed by the Board of Directors and awarded on a rolling basis as new sponsorship funds become available throughout the year.
