Sponsorship Opportunities

ME inc.

ME inc. is a non-profit entrepreneurial magazine, aimed at 14-24 year olds, with a focus on youth-run, and youth-focused businesses.

ENTREPRENEUR GRANT

The magazine will feature three new $1000 young entrepreneur grants for winning business plans; bringing hands-on business planning experience to high school students and at-risk youth across the region (London, Middlesex, Oxford & Elgin Counties).

DISTRIBUTION

ME inc. is distributed directly to High Schools, Alternative Education Centres and Post Secondary Campuses across the region, along with agencies serving youth-at-risk.

OUR GOAL

By increasing awareness of local students and youth-at-risk about the benefits of self-employment, how to complete a business plan and how to get a business financed, our communities will benefit from future businesses that will spawn from these young entrepreneurs.

WHY BECOME A SPONSOR?

Sponsorship is a way for your business or organization to position itself as a community-minded business working to help increase awareness of local youth and youth at-risk about the benefits of self-employment and how to start a business.

ME inc. is a powerful and cost-effective marketing tool that reaches a targeted and much sought after audience, youth. It is a great vehicle to launch new products, encourage consumer trial and reinforce branding or corporate image. Take advantage of this opportunity and place your corporate logo in front of the eyes of 10,000 students - where they are and where they learn.

Our Sponsorship program offers four levels of participation: Partner, Major Sponsor, Sponsor and Supporter. The following page outlines the opportunities and benefits in greater detail.
