Powerful Partnership Angles for N.I.C.E.

FOR FUNDERS & PARTNERS

Through N.I.C.E., we are restoring historic spaces, protecting land, and building trade pathways for rural youth. We are inviting founding corporate partners to visibly lead this movement in Yamhill County.

Protecting Our Mission

Before partnering, we ask:

• Does this company’s environmental footprint conflict with our land stewardship mission?

• Are they locally respected?

• Would our community trust this alignment?

N.I.C.E. is building long-term credibility.

Sponsorship Language Looks Like

• “Supported by…”

• “Community Partner”

• “Funding provided by…

• ”Neutral acknowledgment
