Become an ETM Partner
Hundreds of thousands of New York City students do not have access to high-quality music education. Partnering with ETM gives your organization the opportunity to change that.
As a corporate partner, you can help ensure underserved students in under-resourced NYC schools have the opportunity to thrive—academically, socially, and in life—while aligning your brand with music education, equity, and social impact.
Impact
While government support funds some of our work, our comprehensive weekly music education and professional development programming is only made possible through the generous contributions of corporate and private philanthropy. Our partnerships with companies like yours help provide our public school partners with best-in-class professional development, ongoing mentorship, instructional supervision, and certification assistance. Through corporate sponsorships, ETM is able to provide instruments, books, technology, and resources for all students at an ETM partner school.
Engagement
Our corporate partnerships know that making music changes lives! Our students can perform at your company or community events, and you are welcome to attend our performances. Students can visit your offices for “career days” and employees can volunteer at concerts and/or in our offices for seasonal occasions such as Music in Our Schools Month, Teacher Appreciation Week, and/or Giving Tuesday.
There are year-round leadership opportunities on our volunteer and governance boards. ETM always creates compelling and creative engagement opportunities for our corporate partners!
Brand Visibility
Your company will receive name and logo recognition on ETM’s website, social media channels, annual report, and newsletter that reach industry leaders, supporters, and education advocates. Program and Gala sponsors are featured in dedicated press releases, digital communications, and blog posts.
We work hard to create customized cross-branding opportunities that celebrate our shared commitment to the transformative power of music education.
Corporate Partnership Opportunities
We are eager to partner with your organization to help ensure equitable access to music education. Through sponsorship, volunteering, communications, and advocacy, companies like yours can invest in the city's next generation of leaders and creative contributors.
