Sponsor

• Our Mission

  To enhance each diner’s experience and support local businesses by engaging restaurants and stakeholders in a process to increase environmental sustainability through tailored strategies, workshops and collaboration.

Thank you for your interest in St. Louis Earth Day’s Green Dining Alliance!

With your support, we can work towards our mission to increase responsible dining opportunities in the St. Louis area by helping restaurants and stakeholders create an environmentally sustainable industry through tailored strategies, education and collaboration. Regardless of your sponsorship goals, we can tailor a sponsorship to maximize your sponsorship dollars and reflect your interests and values.

Goal: Support a locally-derived sustainability initiative of a respected nonprofit organization

St. Louis Earth Day began the Green Dining Alliance initiative as a response to the needs in the community. We work with many St. Louis restaurants through our Earth Day Festival Cafe and at the food areas of the events we partner with for our Recycling On the Go program. From those interactions, it was clear that restaurants were seeking more guidance on how to go green in a cost effect manner. In addition, the environmental community in St. Louis has demonstrated interest in knowing who is going green so they could frequent those establishments.

Goal: Foster a vibrant community and local economy by supporting locally owned independents

Your company’s contributions will subsidize our membership fees, keeping them affordable for all interested restaurants. Our program’s outreach effort will connect diners with restaurants that match their values and encourage diners to “buycott” – spend their money at places that have demonstrated sustainable practices.

Goal: Market  your product or service to restaurants

Becoming a sponsor of the GDA is a great way to support a good cause while promoting your company’s products and services. GDA restaurants can’t go green on their own – they need good sources of local foods, organic ingredients, energy efficient, non toxic cleaning supplies, and compostable to-go products. They need someone to haul their recycling and compost. They need an eco-friendly laundry service to wash all of those reusable linens. Everyone benefits by connecting green restaurants with green service providers.

Goal: Reach an environmentally conscious consumer demographic

Sponsoring the GDA will connect you with your target demographic through our website, social network and special events. We can help you:

• Highlight what your company is doing to support environmental stewardship.
• Promote your brand, products and services.
• Strengthen your brand’s association with environmental action, education and awareness.

Thank you for your consideration – your help and support means the world to us!
