Reach Environmentally Conscious Consumers. 

Sponsoring GDAKC through Bridging The Gap will connect you with your target demographic through our website, social networks, and events. We can help you: 

• Promote your brand, products, and services 
• Strengthen your brand’s association with environmental action, education and awareness 
• Highlight your company’s efforts to support environmental stewardship 

Foster a vibrant community and local economy by supporting independent businesses. 

Investment in sustainability can be challenging. We believe the weight of a changing industry shouldn’t fall only on the shoulders of individual small business owners. Your company’s contributions can subsidize our certification fees, keeping them affordable for all interested establishments. Our program’s outreach connects diners with restaurants that match their values, encouraging them to “buycott” by spending their money at places demonstrating sustainable practices. 

Market your product or service to restaurants. 

Becoming a sponsor of GDAKC is a great way to support a local initiative while promoting your company’s products and services. GDAKC restaurants can’t go green on their own—they need high-quality, reliable sources for local foods, organic ingredients, energy-efficient equipment, non-toxic cleaning supplies, and eco-friendly takeout products. They need someone to haul their compost and their recycling. They need an eco-friendly laundry service to wash their reusable linens. Everyone benefits by connecting green restaurants with green service providers.  

Support a sustainability initiative of a respected, local nonprofit organization. 

In expanding on our St. Louis neighbors’ program, Bridging The Gap is responding to a need we see in our community–especially among food and beverage establishments–for increased guidance and support on how to “go green” in an efficient, cost-effective manner. We know we are a match for this challenge because of our many successful existing efforts across the greater Kansas City area in other environmental sectors.  

We are eager to delve into local sponsorship opportunities. Please reach out to our GDAKC coordinator if your business is interested in exploring ways in which we can work together.
