For local businesses

Put your business behind the next generation.

Optimist sponsorships stay local. Your support funds scholarships, youth contests, and service projects here in Appleton and the greater Fox Valley — and it puts your name in front of neighbors who notice.

Sponsorship opportunities

Levels and benefits are set each year by the club's fundraising committee. Tell us what you have in mind and we will send the current packet with amounts, deadlines, and artwork requirements.

Golf outing sponsorship

Hole signage, team entries, and event-day recognition at the club's largest fundraiser of the year.

Scholarship underwriting

Put your business name behind a scholarship or a youth contest award presented to a local student.

Program & project partners

Underwrite the supplies, food, or space behind a service project your team can also volunteer for.

Meeting & speaker support

Support the weekly club meeting where community leaders speak, and be recognized from the podium.

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us your goals

    Send a note through the contact form with your business, budget range, and whether visibility or volunteering matters more.

  2. 02

    Pick a fit

    A committee member walks you through the current levels and the programs each one funds, then confirms the details in writing.

  3. 03

    See the result

    We share photos and recaps from the events you supported, and you are welcome at the meeting where awards are presented.

Let's build something for local kids.

Sponsors are neighbors first. Many started by visiting a club meeting as a guest — you are welcome to do the same before you commit to anything.
