We are excited to invite you to join us as a Corporate Sponsor. Your partnership supports our writing and publishing programs, where youth are empowered to realize their individual potential. 

Our annual sponsorship structure gives local businesses and organizations multiple ways to connect with audiences through our publications, social media channels, and events, including Paint the Town Read—our festive spring fundraiser. This evening to support The Telling Room will feature our authors and alumni, some of our most beloved writing activities, music, and of course—delicious food. Your contribution as a sponsor goes entirely toward making our innovative and empowering programs possible—all at no cost to youth and their families.

And, as The Telling Room begins its first year in our new location at 55 Washington Avenue in Portland, we’re excited to introduce the Welcoming Committee! This new partnership opportunity provides greater accessibility for local businesses and organizations to connect with and support
The Telling Room community. 

As a sponsor, you’ll join current corporate partners including Androscoggin Bank, Coffee By Design, cPort Credit Union, Down East Magazine, Kennebec Savings Bank, The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein, Machias Savings Bank, Martin’s Point, OODA Parking Solutions, Pierce Atwood, and Verrill to name a few. For a full list, click here. The Telling Room’s students and events also regularly receive media attention from television, print, and radio outlets throughout the year.

Telling Room alumni are integral members of our community, bringing their 21st century skills to roles across sectors like education, healthcare, finance, government, and nonprofit management. We hope you’ll join us as we continue our work of supporting Maine’s youth—now and in the future.
