Support Artist

Want to support artists right now? You can make a direct donation to the BOSArts Artist Fund at any time. That support goes straight toward increasing the dollars we can award to artists through the BOSArts grant program.

Want to support artists as a business—while also gaining visibility? Through upcoming BOSArts art events and community campaigns, businesses can sponsor artists and participate through corporate and strategic partnerships. These partnerships are built to create measurable public-facing exposure while also generating sustained funding for the BOSArts Artist Fund.

BOSArts (Business Owners Supporting the Arts) builds strategic partnerships with small businesses, corporate partners, and larger organizations for one purpose: to fund the BOSArts Artist Fund while giving partners meaningful marketing and advertising opportunities that connect them with the community.

We focus on win-win collaborations where a partner’s brand is featured through real campaigns and visibility, and the resulting support helps grow artist funding with integrity, clarity, and nonprofit-level transparency.

Become a Corporate Sponsor or Strategic Partner

A strategic partnership with BOSArts is more than a donation. It’s a structured collaboration that helps a business reach real marketing goals while generating direct funding for the BOSArts Artist Fund.

Partners can be featured through event sponsorships, sponsored advertising placements, co-branded promotions, and community-facing campaigns designed to build awareness, strengthen reputation, and scale contributions over time.

Who We Partner With

Small Businesses
Local companies that want to grow visibility, reach new customers, and be known for uplifting artists through campaigns and event sponsorships that place their brand in front of the community.

Corporate Partners
Regional and national brands looking for measurable community impact, strong local alignment, and a credible way to combine marketing reach with meaningful arts support.

Larger Organizations
Organizations that want to sponsor high-visibility community programs and artist-funding initiatives that also provide strong public-facing branding opportunities.

How Partnerships Support Marketing and Fund the Artist Grant Program

BOSArts is built to help partners get real advertising and exposure while generating sustainable funding for artist grants. We design programs where community participation drives both outcomes at the same time.

• Sponsored marketing placements that put your brand in front of a local audience while funding the BOSArts Artist Fund.
• Event sponsorship opportunities that highlight your business while helping underwrite artist grants and artist-focused programming.
• Co-branded campaigns that position your business as a supporter of artists and creative futures.
• Cause-driven promotions that generate contributions through participation (including our Frintz® partnership model). Partners can also sponsor their own Frintz packet to feature their brand directly in the campaign.
• Matching initiatives that multiply community impact during specific campaigns or seasons.
• In-kind support (services, printing, media, venues, logistics) that reduces overhead and keeps more funding available for grants.
• Long-term collaborations that give partners sustained visibility and allow the Artist Fund to grow beyond one-time events.

Accountability Matters Here

BOSArts operates with nonprofit-level transparency. Our board reviews the organization regularly, and we are committed to keeping the Artist Fund mission-first and trustworthy.

The outcome we care about most is clear: more funding awarded to artists through fair, community-aligned grant decisions.
