Sponsorship Opportunities

2026 Sponsors

THANK YOU to our sponsors! Corda Teacher Store would not be able to provide classroom supplies to educators and their students without the generous support of these amazing local businesses.

Corda Teacher Store Sponsorship Opportunities

Local educators consistently spend their own money to supply basic and necessary school supplies for their students who may otherwise go without. According to The National Education Association, over 90% of teachers nationwide spend their own money on classroom supplies without reimbursement, with expenses averaging between $500 and $900 each year. This is where Corda Teacher Store steps in, helping to fill that gap.

Supplies provided by Corda Teacher Store include, but are not limited to, pencils, paper, markers, folders, notebooks, ear buds, calculators, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. To provide these essential items, we rely on the generosity of local businesses and individuals like you for donations. Below are sponsorship opportunities for general donation levels and exclusive special events for your review. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. 

Exclusive Special Event Sponsorships

We host three large events throughout the year and we are looking for partners to sponsor these events. These events are attended by 100+ educators and are a great way to showcase how your contributions support educators and students in our community!

This event will show our appreciation of our local educators by providing them with a time to shop for year-end supplies and enjoy refreshments with fellow colleagues.
