Show Your Support for The Telling Room by Becoming a Corporate Sponsor

We are excited to invite you to become a Corporate Sponsor of The Telling Room as we begin our 20th year of serving Maine’s youth. Our annual sponsorship structure gives local businesses and organizations multiple ways to connect with audiences through our special events, audience channels, and publications throughout the year. All contributions go towards supporting our suite of innovative writing and publishing programs for youth. 

This year will be filled with several special celebrations honoring our 20th anniversary, giving our corporate partners many opportunities for visibility. We’ll kick off the festivities on October 16th 2024 at Thompson Point’s Brick South with our anniversary bash, Paint the Town Read. In the spring, we’ll unveil a special 20th anniversary anthology of Telling Room writing at a book launch with our community, in addition to our annual events such as Big Night, and book launches for the Young Emerging Authors and Young Writers & Leaders programs. Our previous live events have been enormously popular, and received prominent media attention from News Center Maine’s 207, Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily News, WMTW, and more.

Current Telling Room sponsors have included Bristol Seafood, Coffee By Design, cPort Credit Union, Dead River Company, Down East Magazine, The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein, Machias Savings Bank, Martin’s Point, Pierce Atwood, Verrill, WEX, and many more. 

We are thrilled to bring the community together for another year of in-person storytelling, poetry, and performance as we honor twenty years of empowering youth through writing and sharing their voices with the world—and we hope you’ll join us. If you are interested in sponsoring The Telling Room this year, please be in touch to discuss the details and confirm your level of sponsorship.
