Sponsorship and media kit

Put your company's name behind a city's diverse-owned businesses.

Inclusivity.org is a national directory of LGBTQ+, Black, Latino, Asian, women-, veteran- and disabled-owned businesses. Every listing shows where its information came from and how it was verified. Each city has a hub page that brings its businesses together, and a sponsorship puts your name on one, at a published price, with everything you get written down.

Where your name goes

One city, one category, or one guide

City Sponsor

$1,500 to $3,500 per year, by metro size

The name behind a whole city. One per city

Your statement, beside the city's numbers.
The City Sponsor's statement panel on the Atlanta hub
  • A presented-by line with your logo under the hub's title.
  • Your statement, up to 40 words, beside the city's numbers.
  • A sponsor story, about 600 words, written with you, on its own page.
  • A Featured listing for your business on that hub, if you are one we can list.
  • No competing sponsor in your industry on that city.
  • Your logo in every newsletter and on the hub's thank-you row.

Category Sponsor

$900 per year, any city

For a company tied to one kind of business. One per category per city

A category section with a presented-by credit
A smaller category button with a presented-by credit
  • "This section presented by" with your logo on that category in that city.
  • The same credit on that category's full city page.
  • The only sponsor on that category in that city for the year.
  • A sponsor story, about 600 words, written with you, on its own page.

Guide Sponsor

$750 per guide, per year

Your name on one city guide, such as LGBTQ-Owned Businesses in Atlanta. One per guide

The Atlanta guides band with a presented-by credit on one guide
  • "Presented by" on the guide in the hub's reading list and at the top of the guide.
  • A short sponsor note at the end of the guide, in your words.
  • A sponsor story, about 600 words, written with you, on its own page.
  • Editorial stays ours. The businesses in a guide are chosen on the evidence, never by the sponsor.

Nonprofits & community organizations

Sponsor a nonprofit's spotlight

Every city hub ends with its nonprofits and community organizations: community centers, Pride, youth programs, health services, disability services and more. Put your name behind one of them.

Nonprofit Spotlight Sponsor

$499 per organization, per year

All but $149 goes straight to the organization as your own donation, so the gift and the receipt are yours: $350 of the $499. The $149 covers your placement, sponsor story and social post. One sponsor per organization

  • A top-three place for the organization on its city hub for the year, on the large Spotlight card.
  • "Sponsored Spotlight" on the organization's card, so readers always know it is a paid placement.
  • Your name, logo and link on the organization's page: sponsored by you, supporting their work.
  • A sponsor story, about 600 words, written with you, plus a social post and a sponsor badge for your site.
  • The organization pays nothing. Their page stays in their own words; the sponsor never edits it.

How it works

  1. 1Pick an organization. See which Spotlights are open in your city and reserve one with the $149 placement.
  2. 2Donate $350 directly. Give through the organization's own donate page; we email you the link. Your receipt comes from them.
  3. 3We confirm with them. We let the organization know you'd like to be its sponsor and confirm your donation arrived.
  4. 4The spotlight goes live. For twelve months, with your name, logo and link. We check in before it ends about renewing.
See which Spotlights are open

Get more visibility for your nonprofit

Your listing is free: a full page with your programs, hours, how to get help, how to get involved, and a card in your city's section. A Spotlight puts you at the front of it.

A Spotlight gets you

  • A top-three place on your city hub, on the large card, where people browsing the city see you first.
  • The longer write-up on your page, with your photo gallery and your logo on the card.
  • The Spotlight badge on your card and page, all year.
  • Donations and volunteers one click from your page, with your Donate and Volunteer buttons up top.

Two ways to get one

Find a sponsor, and it costs you nothing

Every organization page has its own sponsor page you can send to a local business. If they sponsor you, they donate $350 straight to you, and your Spotlight goes live.

Or upgrade your own page

$149 a year, right from your organization's sponsor page.

Featured Nationwide

Your listing on every city page, and the home page

For a listed business that serves customers in every state: online services, national brands.

What you get

  • The home page, leading the Featured row.
  • All 82 city pages, and every city we open later, at no extra cost.
  • One of three layouts on each city page, rotating daily, so it never takes over a page or a local Featured spot.
  • Up to three cover images, one per layout: a photo, a product, an offer.
  • Your logo beside the buttons, and a link to your site.
  • Four brands at most, so you share the space with three others.

  • Your own partner page on Inclusivity.org.
  • The Inclusivity Pride Calendar, presented by you, when it launches.
  • Your logo in every newsletter.
  • Featured Nationwide included, if you are a business we can list.

Newsletter Sponsor

$250 per issue, or $600 per month

The Inclusivity newsletter goes to the business owners in the directory, two to four times a month. One sponsor per issue

  • "This issue is presented by" with your logo at the top.
  • A sponsor block after the first story: your logo, up to 50 words and one link, labeled Sponsor.
  • You send the content, and approve a preview two business days before the send.
  • It stays in the web edition of that issue.

How it works

  1. 1

    Check what's open

    Pick a city on the Available page. Open spots have a Reserve button; taken ones show who has them.

  2. 2

    Pay online

    We send you a secure Stripe checkout link.

  3. 3

    Send your logo and words

    We draft your credits and sponsor story, and you approve every word.

  4. 4

    Live within five days

    Your placement goes live within five business days of our approval.

What every sponsor can count on

  • You approve every word that carries your name before it goes live.
  • If we can't deliver a placement we sold, we refund the unused months.

What a sponsorship can’t buy

  • A verification status. Those come from evidence only.
  • A higher spot for anyone's listing, or a lower one for a competitor's.
  • A say in which businesses a guide recommends.
  • A traffic guarantee. We don't promise numbers.

Questions sponsors ask

Do sponsor links help our search ranking?

No. Every sponsor link is marked rel="sponsored", as Google requires of paid links. A sponsorship buys visibility and association, not search ranking.

What does exclusivity mean?

No competitor in your industry sponsors the same spot while you do. Competitors can still be listed in the directory and buy Featured listings.

Do sponsorships renew automatically?

No. Sponsorships and newsletter sponsorships end after their term, and we contact you before they do. Listings renew automatically, and we email you 30 days and seven days before each renewal.

Can a sponsorship change what the directory says about a business?

No. A sponsorship can't buy a verification status, a higher or lower spot for anyone's listing, or a say in which businesses a guide recommends.

Can you end a sponsorship?

Yes. We may end a sponsorship, refunding the unused months, if a sponsor acts in a way that is publicly hostile to the communities this directory serves.

How do we pay?

Online, through a secure Stripe checkout. We send you the link once your spot is confirmed.
