2025 NY Coop Summit Sponsorships Opportunity

[Frank Cetera]

In May of 2024 a group of co-op champions in New York State put on a one-day event in Syracuse, the New York Cooperative Summit, which over 100 people attended. Numerous organizations made generous sponsorship donations which allowed us to offer attendance for very low cost, as well as pay for speakers' travel, offer childcare and interpretation, and feed everyone lunch.      

We’re putting on the event again on October 4th, 2025, this time in the NY Capital Region in Albany, and we're hoping you might be able to support the event with a sponsorship. 

There is no staff person paid from sponsorships - staff from organizations like the Cooperative Fund of the Northeast, the New York City Network of Worker Cooperatives, Cooperative Development Institute, Cooperation Buffalo, the Westchester Cooperative Network, the Democracy at Work Institute, and others are all pitching in time to put the event on as a coalition. We're aiming for 150 people, and have a modest budget of around $15,000 for the event, keeping tickets low or no-cost.   

Linked below you'll find information about sponsorship. I'd be happy to chat on a call if you have questions or would like to talk about how the event might be most impactful.  We understand there is a lot of uncertainty in funding streams at the moment, and appreciate you considering to support this.
