Corporate Sponsorships
Our corporate partners play a vital role in the many activities and programs we offer and we are continually seeking ways to strengthen our ties to the corporate community. Sponsoring one of the events or programs at the Humane Society of Indianapolis will provide your organization an opportunity to participate in our mission and be associated with valuable services we provide to the Indianapolis community.

We are constantly revisiting our sponsorship recognition packages to ensure we are providing our corporate partners with recognition in every way possible. Each event entitles a sponsor to a variety of recognition opportunities ranging from logo recognition on invites, print ads, posters, brochures, electronic marketing, signage at the event and much more. We work closely with our sponsors to make sure their needs are being met and that the event fits the audience you are targeting.

For more information, contact Jennifer Thomas, Manager of Corporate Relations at 317.872.5650 (ext.103) or Alison Moyars, Manager of Special Events at 317.872.5650 (ext.102).
