Partners & Sponsors
Meaningful partnerships for real community impact
Avenues partners with businesses and organizations that want to make an impact in their community. Together, we create meaningful ways to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through event sponsorships, service partnerships, community employment opportunities, contract packaging, and hands-on volunteer engagement. We work with businesses in flexible, practical ways that align with shared values and mutual goals.
Sponsor an event
We host several signature events throughout the year, bringing together our community of supporters, clients, families, and friends. By sponsoring one of our events – such as our Walking for Avenues, the Gorman Golf Classic, or our Annual Gala – your business gains visibility, while directly supporting programs and services for Avenues participants. Visit our events page or contact us to learn more about event sponsorships.
Provide services & support
Some businesses partner with Avenues by providing services, expertise, or in-kind support that strengthen our operations and ability to deliver on our mission. These partnerships may include professional services, operational support, or collaborative initiatives that benefit both the organization and the individuals we serve. Because each partnership is unique, we approach these relationships thoughtfully and collaboratively. Contact us to offer services.
Hire dependable, local workers
Local businesses play a critical role in creating inclusive workplaces. Through Avenues’ Community Employment Services, companies can support adults with disabilities by offering jobs and coaching. These relationships are thoughtfully coordinated to ensure success for both the employer and the individual.
