Annual Sponsorship
Annual sponsorship supports BBN’s work year-round—strengthening business visibility, improving vendor experience, and keeping resources accessible beyond any single event.
How Annual Sponsorship Works
Annual sponsors help BBN plan and deliver consistent support across the year. This includes community visibility, vendor experience improvements, and year-round resources that help Black-owned businesses access opportunities and stay connected.
Annual sponsorship supports three areas of impact:
promotion and community-facing opportunities that help businesses get seen
smoother operations, support, and welcoming environments.
tools, navigation, and resources beyond event days
