Welcome

How do I sign up to become a Sponsor?
You can simply contact our Market Director, Aimee Leonard, at FortFarmersMarket@gmail.com. Aimee will be happy to walk you through the information and details of each of the 5 sponsorship levels to find the one that will fit you best. As well as let you know which levels are still available.

How do I pay? 
You can pay by Check made payable directly to "Fort Atkinson Farmers Market." Please make certain "Farmer's Market Sponsor" written in the memo line and mail the payment to: Fort Atkinson Farmers Market
150 Hilltop Dr. P.O. Box 342
Milton WI 53563.

Be sure to include either the form we send you or a note in the envelope that states the name you want recognized for the sponsorship. (Most often a Name of a Business).

Or you can pay in person directly at the Chamber during regular business hours. (But still be sure to state the business name you wish advertised as the sponsor where applicaple!)

Do we have to pick sponsorship packages again for other events such as the Holiday Market or Winter Market?
NO!  Now that we are our own entity we will be treating each of the events we organize as one large entity. That means if you sponsor us you get advertising YEAR ROUND for that amount. No more picking and choosing only what the events you can afford. You will be recognized on ALL of the year's event banners, Web ads, Press Releases, and more, that are respective to the package you choose.

What do donations and Sponsorships go towards?
Sponsorships go to administrative costs and overhead as well as community services such as our food assistance matching, rewarding local family friendly musicians, and supporting children's activities like our Young Entrepreneurs Program. Many of these community programs can't continue without your amazing support.

Can I pick and choose a specific program I wish to sponsor?
We understand the desire to only support something "fun" like the kid's craft. But unfortunately this is not something we can offer at this time. While the "fun stuff" can sound more appealing to sponsor, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to host music without the "boring stuff" that goes into managing the market either. Those programs are built on a foundation market needs such as: Insurance, Canopies, Signs, ASCAP licensing, Venue Fees, Management and Staffing hours, Office Supplies.

I want to donate, but don't wish to be a recognized "Sponsor." Can I do that?
Of Course! You can simply CLICK HERE (coming soon) to donate to our organization through "Give Butter." Give Butter is a donation website designed to help non-profits and only non-profits secure funding.

But the easiest way to donate is by dropping some change into our donation jar directly at the welcome booth at any of our market events or collection jars around the Fort Atkinson area.
​
Where and When will sponsors reach the public?
Each of our Sponsorship packages will run for one full calendar year which begins in May and runs through the end of April.

If you choose one of our more exclusive packages that includes visibility via our banners and events your logo will be displayed at a minimum of 26 Summer Markets, Our Holiday Market Hop Event, 4 Winter Markets, as well as any other additional events we may organize in the time frame where we may have a banner displayed.

As a sponsor of any level you are also welcomed to display any marketing materials at our welcome booth. A great way to distribute coupons, flyers, and more to the public. We have a weatherproof portfolio to display community events and flyers that many stop to review each Summer Market.
