Sponsor The Taste

Why Sponsor the Taste?

From Cooperstown to Virginia Beach, our 64,000-square-mile watershed is a patchwork of communities that rely on its forest, streams, and rivers. It’s a sustainable source of fish, crabs, and other shellfish. It’s where we recreate and connect with nature. It’s our source of clean drinking water.

It’s ours to protect.

Everyone has an important role to play in improving the water quality of the Bay, and its streams and rivers. Your Taste sponsorship creates impact by supporting the Alliance’s mission to restore the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Our collaborative and action-oriented approach delivers on-the-ground solutions, provides technical assistance, and builds capacity to achieve healthier lands and cleaner water.

As a regional event offering a smaller, more intimate atmosphere, the Taste presents a unique opportunity to align your brand with critical conservation efforts and network with like-minded businesses in your community who genuinely want to make a difference in our watershed. Gain brand exposure with our highly engaged audience of over 18,000 social media followers, 15,500 newsletter subscribers, and 300+ in-person event attendees.

Take a look at the impact you’re supporting when you join us at the Taste!
