San Diego Made
SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES
Thank you for your interest in partnering with San Diego Made Markets.
Our markets bring together a highly engaged community of local shoppers, artists, makers, and creative small businesses who value handmade goods, local culture, and thoughtfully curated experiences.
While our markets are reserved for handmade craft vendors, we welcome mission-aligned sponsors who want to support our events and connect with our community in meaningful ways.
Sponsorships help make our markets possible while giving your brand visibility before, during, and after each event — both in person and across our digital channels.
AND WHAT SPONSORSHIP HELPS SUPPORT
WHY WE NEED SPONSORS
Financial Feasibility & Accessibility
Our events support hundreds of makers, artists, and creative small businesses each year. They are produced by a small team of staff and volunteers, and sponsorship helps us keep vendor fees affordable, ticket prices accessible, and our markets welcoming to the community.
Supports Small Businesses
San Diego Made Markets give local artists, makers, and entrepreneurs a place to grow their businesses, connect with customers, and be part of a vibrant creative community. Sponsor support helps make these opportunities possible.
Subsidizes Young Entrepreneur Booths
Sponsorship helps us offer free booth space to young entrepreneurs, giving students and emerging makers the chance to experience selling at a professional market, build confidence, and share their work with the public.
Helps Fund Vendor Scholarships
Sponsor support also helps fund vendor scholarships for makers who are just starting out or facing financial hardship, making it possible for more small businesses to participate, grow, and be seen.
