Thank you to the generosity of our sponsors for providing us with a venue to sell goods, and for providing matching funds for our EBT/SNAP matching program!
Is your business, organization, or employer interested in sponsoring the Indiana County Farmers’ Market? Please contact us! The Indiana County Farmers’ Market is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is seeking sponsors. Your support could mean more healthy food on the table for families in our community.
Why sponsoring ICFM matters:
Vendors retain 100% of their profits. This helps to provide a satisfying experience and develops loyal vendors. However, the funding received from vendors’ fees leaves little room for growth and expansion.
Additional funds are required for:
- Maintenance of our card swipe system for credit, debit, and SNAP transactions
- Food Bucks / Market Money incentive program
- Printed materials for marketing, publicity, and education
- Community engagement in the areas of health and the arts
Your contribution will ensure the continued growth of the Indiana County Farmers’ Market.
Our Matching Program opens up a whole new client base for our vendors by inviting SNAP clients to shop the market. This program also increases access to fresh, healthy foods, creates a sense of community, and offers assistance to struggling families. The incentive program encourages SNAP customers to buy local by doubling their market dollars.
The market as a whole, as well as the SNAP program and other programs, can always benefit from increased marketing and publicity, bringing new customers and additional revenue to our vendors.
The above-mentioned opportunities will provide opportunities for market expansion, which can have profound positive effects on the economic growth of Indiana County. We strive to ensure that the Indiana County Farmers’ Market is a place where the community can gather to promote healthy lifestyles while supporting local businesses and community members.
Thank you for supporting our market!
