Sponsorship & Advertising

Grassroots Initiative offers a range of sponsorship and advertising packages that enable both national companies and local businesses to reach prospective candidates for elected office, newly elected officials and community leaders.

Since 2005, Grassroots Initiative has served as the "go-to" point for individuals interested in public service in New York City. As of 2008, we are now offering select services to candidates nationwide. As such, advertising with Grassroots Initiative offers a unique opportunity to reach a highly active group of leaders from a source that they have grown to trust and respect.

Grassroots Initiative is recognized by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as such, all contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. All program sponsors of $5,000/year and higher are recognized on Grassroots Initiative's website and may be recognized in mailings to community leaders, likely voters and other constituents of Grassroots Initiative.
