Business and Corporate Sponsorship

Sponsoring TMI Project is an opportunity for your business to effect transformative change in our community. Since 2010, TMI Project has provided a platform to diverse storytellers to share powerful stories that are not often heard. Their work shines a spotlight on anti-racism, gender equality, LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive justice, and mental health awareness and inspires action for social justice. 

As our business sponsor, you’ll reach up to 2,500 audience members in Ulster County and 68,500 individuals throughout the rest of the U.S. and the world. 

Our audience members are energized, socially conscious consumers who intentionally invest in local, like-minded businesses. Aligning with the mission of TMI Project lets customers know you support the voices and lives of local community members who need you most.

Our social justice programs and focus areas:

At Hawthorne Valley, we are deeply inspired by the tremendous work of TMI Project to amplify the voices of those fighting for social justice through the power of their own true stories.

“Wild Earth supports TMI Project because they continue to center the voices of those who are least represented in the media. TMI Project provides opportunities for those individuals to become powerful storytellers. Oral storytelling has always been a powerful method of shaping culture, and Wild Earth wants future generations to learn from the experiences of the diverse swath of identities living today.”
