Piers Park  Sailing Center  depends on support from all areas of the community to achieve our mission. Your business can help!

Some opportunities include:

Provide Pro Bono Services and Gifts-in-Kind

Your company can support us by offering services or products free of charge or at a discounted rate. Of particular value are legal services, public relations, skills training, awareness raising activities and event support (venue, catering, entertainment, etc).

Marketing Opportunities

Your logo on one of our sailboats can provide a significant competitor advantage. This partnership can help reach your organization’s social responsibility objectives, while promoting sales for your product or service.

Start a Staff / Company Fundraiser

Staff fundraising activities create a sense of common goals and shared pride, which is great for morale and team spirit. It can also generate goodwill with your customers, suppliers and the local community. We have the expertise to maximize the benefits of staff fundraising for your organization.

Make a Matching Gift

When you match gifts from your employees, you show them you care about their interests.

Encourage Workplace Giving

The staff of SAP Global hold a day of service at Piers Park.

Keeping your staff aware of the company’s charitable endeavors is a great way to boost morale and set a positive example. Offer your staff the opportunity to become volunteers. We can work with you to establish individual or group sponsorships.

Equity & Securities Donation

Supporters may choose to make gifts of appreciated stocks or mutual funds because of the associated tax advantages. When giving securities that have increased in value and have been owned long enough to qualify as long-term property, you are generally entitled to a federal income tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the security. In addition, when donating securities that have increased in value, you do not have to pay capital gains tax. Consult with your tax advisor or financial planner before making a gift of appreciated securities to determine how the potential benefits may apply to your particular situation.
