Sponsorship Opportunity: 2023 Alaska Food & Farm Festival
We invite you to take part in our Alaska Food and Farm Festival being held both in-person and virtually, November 10-12, 2023. AFPC’s 7th sesquiannual Alaska Food Festival & Conference will merge with the Alaska Farm Bureau’s third Alaska Farm Convention & Tradeshow with the support of Western SARE. This year’s event takes the best of each event and combines them into the: Alaska Food & Farm Festival!
We hope to make this a meaningful, collaborative, and relevant conference that shares the progress being made in the Alaska food system. Given both our in-person and virtual delivery, which offers reduced barriers to participation, along with our diverse group of partners, we are predicting a larger than normal participation. We will also be offering a range of scholarships and stipends. Your support is important to us. It helps us provide scholarships for attendees, support our advocacy efforts, and build on the capacity of the council and Alaska’s food system.
Here are some ways we are offering your business opportunities to demonstrate your commitment to strengthening the Alaska food system.
Become a financial sponsor of the 2023 event. We offer a range of sponsorship options, tailored to your budget. Sponsors are recognized in a variety of ways, with some options for an Trade Show Vendor Booth. We make sure to acknowledge our sponsors throughout the event and afterward through print advertising, virtual advertising, and social media.
Donate your time or in-kind services. We are a small, yet mighty non-profit organization and are always looking for volunteers and donated services.
Donate a silent auction item. We plan to have a silent auction to raise funds for the Alaska Food Policy Council. Consider donating an auction item that represents your business or organization.
For your convenience, you can visit our website to indicate your desired support level through our online form. You can choose to pay online (below) or request an invoice.
We are looking forward to another great event, thanks to your consideration and generous support.
Sincerely,
Festival Planning Committee
