AIGA Chicago’s success is in large part due to the generosity, involvement and support of its patron community. All contributions to our chapter are recorded upon receipt and reviewed on an annual basis. Patrons with annual contributions of $5,000 or more are considered Benefactors, and receive special benefits for their support. They are listed as Benefactors on our community patron list, which is published throughout the year on the AIGA Chicago website.
There are two ways to become involved with AIGA Chicago as a patron:
1. Sponsorship
Cash contribution toward a single event, program, program series, publication or general chapter use. Chapter events and programs may have one exclusive sponsor, two co-sponsors, or in some instances multiple co-sponsors.
2. In-Kind
Contribution of products and/or services such as printing, paper, signage or imagery for an event and program invitations or chapter publications. In-kind contributions are assigned a monetary-equivalent value based on a percentage of market value.
