THE SCHOOL FUEL BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
Help Novato Children Grow Into Their Dreams

Become a School Fuel Business Partner today!

What is the Business Partnerships Program?
The School Fuel Business Partnerships Program is designed to integrate businesses directly into the fabric of Novato’s public schools. Your support will translate into increased visibility for your company in the Novato community, and help you to advertise to an extremely loyal customer base. Over 90% of every dollar you donate to School Fuel will go directly into Novato’s public schools to fund enrichment programs at all grade levels that will be severely cut or eliminated without your support.

Support the businesses that support our schools and our community. That’s the message seen by more than 24,000 families and community members as we promote the businesses that have stepped up to be School Fuel Business Partners. Join the more than 100 businesses that have already contributed to School Fuel to better our community by strengthening our public schools. Great schools are good for business - become a School Fuel Business Partner today!

Business Partner Benefits
School Fuel recognizes that many businesses make contributions to charity partly for altruistic reasons, and partly to increase visibility to their potential customers. Here is how we can help your business increase its visibility in the Novato community. Whatever the level of your support, please remember every donation counts!

Public Relations:
In addition to the above recognition, the School Fuel Business Partnerships Committee works tirelessly to find every opportunity to promote our Business Partners, through the Chamber of Commerce, the NUSD, press releases to the Marin IJ and the Novato Advance, word-of-mouth, etc.
Special Promotions:
School Fuel requires a minimum contribution $500, paid in advance, for any event oriented contribution that requires our PR and personnel support (i.e., sales where a percent of the proceeds go to School Fuel, etc.).
Novato Advance Advertisements:
School Fuel advertises regularly in the Novato Advance to promote various events, etc. and is always looking for business partners to subsidize the cost of these ads. For $700 we will list your business prominently in the ad as follows: “This advertisement made possible by a generous donation from YOUR BUSINESS”.

the community as a whole.”
