Duvall Sponsorship
Every dollar stays in Duvall.
This one is still being built. Have a look, put your name in, and the first matches get made by hand.
One side of this town has a little money to put back into it. The other side has a bounce house to rent, a bench to fix, a team to get to Spokane. All that has ever been missing is the introduction.
You have something to give. Name your range, tick what you would like back, and we will bring you the projects that fit.
You have a project this town needs. Pitch it, name your number, and tell sponsors what they get for backing it.
How the matching works
Step 1
No bronze, silver, gold. You say what you can give and tick the boxes for what you would like back. If the answer is nothing, that is a box too.
Step 2
A real problem, a real number, and what you can offer the person who solves it. Think Shark Tank, except the sharks are your neighbors and every one of them wants you to win.
Step 3
We line up who wants what against who needs what, put the good matches in front of both sides, and get out of the way.
Dollar for dollar. Sponsor a project for $500 and 500 Buddy Bucks land in your account, ready to spend at the businesses that make this town worth sponsoring in the first place.
On the board
Examples, written to show the shape of a good pitch. Real ones land here once the board opens.
Duvall Days Committee
Two inflatables and an attendant for the afternoon, so the kids' zone stops depending on whether Carnation can lend us theirs again.

Needed by September 12
Duvall Historical Society
Six benches along the Depot lawn, sanded, resealed and re-slatted. They have been there longer than most of us and they are one more wet winter from splinters.

Spring, before the farmers market opens
Cedarcrest Red Wolves Robotics
Entry fees and a bus to the state qualifier in Spokane. The team built the robot in a garage on donated parts. Getting there is the last thing standing in the way.

I want to sponsor
Nothing here is a commitment. It is a profile, so that when a Duvall project comes along that matches what you want, we know to call you and not somebody else.
I need a sponsor
The best pitches are specific. A number, a date, and a clear picture of what this town gets out of it. Sponsors are not buying an ad. They are buying the thing you are describing.
No corporate sponsor is flying in to fund the parade. It is the hardware store, the dentist, the guy with the excavator, and the family that has farmed the valley for four generations. It always has been. This is just a faster way for them to find each other.
