We urge your consideration of the following opportunities to sponsor TANO program services that promote more effective service delivery in communities throughout Texas.
TANO is one of the most effective ways to reach the Texas nonprofit sector’s professional managers, boards, and volunteer leadership. Our weekly e-mail TANOgram consistently reaches over 50,000 individuals affiliated with nonprofits throughout the state. That number is growing exponentially as we expand our presence and activity.
While our focus is on small and mid-size nonprofits (i.e., budgets of $5 million or less)- which account for 98.2% of the over 74,504 Section 501 (c)( 3) entities in our state – we serve all.
Your support can be reflected in direct advertising arrangements or by sponsoring and underwriting one or more of our program services.
Advertising opportunities include:
- Advertisement in weekly e-mail TANOgram – 50,000+ circulation;
- Banner Ads on TANO website
- Web Page sponsorship
- Promotion with TANO literature
To customize your advertising opportunity so that it meets your needs, contact Mary Beth Harington at mbharrington@tano.org or (512) 381-1493.
Sponsorship opportunities include, but are certainly not limited to:
-
