HKC is the only local non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to promote the preservation of historic buildings and landmarks in Kansas City as well as educate the community about the importance of historic preservation. Whether it is to provide opportunities to reach a high-quality audience or to support economic growth or to protect tangible history, we know our events and outreach initiatives provide an atmosphere that is unmatched in their ability to bring together like-minded companies and individuals who have an interest in making historic preservation economically viable. As the design and construction industry continues to evolve and grow, relationships are increasingly important. HKC’s annual sponsorship program is specifically focused on supporting the development of strategic connections between our members, followers, and sponsors.
FIVE reasons why YOU should be a business sponsor:
