The Arboretum is seeking sponsorship partners to support the development of new infrastructure that enhances the visitor experience.
Through a co‑funding model, combining sponsor investment with internal funding, we will progress each project once the required commitment level is reached.
This is your opportunity to join us on the journey, where your support will be recognised throughout the construction of a chosen project, building excitement with your audience and ours. To ensure strong visibility and a clear narrative, each project will have one lead sponsor, with some smaller supporting opportunities available where appropriate.
We will work with you to tailor a sponsorship package that meets your marketing and corporate citizenship objectives. Benefits can be scaled to match your level of investment and may include:
- Onsite signage with sponsor logo
- Acknowledgement across Arboretum-owned channels including website, e‑news and social media
- Approved project progress images for your internal use (with terms and conditions of use)
- VIP hosted construction project tours for your key stakeholders or staff (up to 3 tours, capacity of 5 attendees)
- Recognition plaque on project completion
- Invitation to the project launch, with the option to provide brief remarks
- Digital engagement and analytics reporting specific to your supported project
