Have JoAnna Call Me Read Common Questions

Common questions

You do not have to have everything figured out to get started.

The first step is simply a conversation.

Does my business have to be a large company?

No. Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses of different sizes. JoAnna can explain the available options and help you explore what fits your budget.

Do I need to choose an event before I contact JoAnna?

No. Share what matters most to your company, whether that is community visibility, employee involvement, helping survivors, or a combination. JoAnna can help you compare the opportunities.

Can we consider sponsorship through our marketing budget?

Yes. Businesses can evaluate sponsorship through their marketing, community engagement, philanthropy, or employee engagement budgets. JoAnna can explain the specific recognition and placement included so your team can assess the fit.

What does room sponsorship help cover?

Room sponsorship helps support ongoing operating costs such as security, electricity, air conditioning, cleaning, upkeep, and refreshing the room between residents. JoAnna can explain available rooms and the sponsorship arrangement.

Can our employees help refresh a sponsored room?

When a room is vacant and a project is available, your team may have an opportunity to help clean, paint, or prepare the space. All projects are scheduled around program needs, staff coordination, and resident privacy.

Can we arrange a tour or an awareness presentation?

Yes. Ask JoAnna about a private tour for your business or an education and awareness presentation for your employees. She can discuss availability and help coordinate the next steps.

What does exposure to the WHL audience mean?

Depending on the sponsorship, your business may be recognized through WHL-managed event marketing, landing pages, and communications. It means visibility through those channels, rather than receiving a copy of donor contact information.

When do the events take place?

Women Make The Difference Gala is typically held in the fall. Hope Walk events are held in January during National Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month. The Where Hope Lives Gala is typically held in the spring. JoAnna will confirm exact dates and available sponsorships for the upcoming event year.

Am I committing to a sponsorship by filling out the form?

No. You are requesting information and a conversation with JoAnna. She will explain the opportunities so you can decide what is right for your business.
