Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsors are recognized in front of an audience of engaged philanthropists and community leaders while helping Urban Edge expand affordable housing, strengthen financial stability, and invest deeply in the neighborhoods we serve: Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Mattapan.

Your sponsorship may also be eligible for the Massachusetts Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC). The CITC program provides a 50% refundable state tax credit for eligible donations of $1,000 or more to qualifying community development corporations like Urban Edge. This means your sponsorship could effectively be reduced by half through the credit. Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please contact us if you would like to customize benefits to enhance your partnership, including on-site branded activations.
