Call For Sponsors, Donors & In-kind Supporters

Dear Community Partners

We are excited to explore a potential partnership with your organization for the 1st Annual California Earthworkers Summit (CES), taking place September 11–13, 2025 at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). CES is rooted in a shared commitment to care, resilience, and place-based leadership across California.

Hosted by Square One Foundation, CES is a multi-day gathering featuring workshops, keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions, wellness offerings, and youth programming—all designed to support and uplift the work of stewards, leaders, educators, and community partners. The summit fosters cross-sector collaboration, intergenerational exchange, and meaningful resource-sharing across agriculture, climate, and environmental care.

Become a Sponsor

We are currently seeking event sponsors to provide financial and/or in-kind sponsorships to help make this year’s conference impactful and accessible for all participants.

As a fiscally sponsored initiative, *all donations to CES are tax-deductible. Sponsors will receive public recognition through event materials, signage, our website, and direct engagement with our growing statewide network of farmers, advocates, and professionals.

*Sponsorship payments that involve substantial return benefits, such as advertising or exclusive privileges, are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions. However, donations made directly to CES or payments made on behalf of the organization toward specific needs, without receiving substantial benefits in return, may be tax-deductible. Please consult with a tax professional to determine the deductibility of your contribution.
