MEDA raises nearly 20 percent of our general operating budget through the Gala. The community’s generosity at this event allows MEDA to continue offering the innovative and results-oriented programs and services that help minorities to start or grow their businesses.

Below, please find Corporate and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) sponsorship information, including various sponsorship levels and statistics on the wide range of visibility your company will get for its support.

With your response by Friday, August 17, your sponsorship will be listed on more than 3,000 invitations mailed throughout the community, and on our Gala advertisement that, last year, ran nearly 30 times in both mainstream and minority newspapers.
