the Trades Drive

NRC sponsors provide the early momentum that makes the entire campaign possible — and earn recognition throughout the full drive.

Named Scholarship Option

For Scholarship Champion sponsors ($5,000+), NRC offers the option to name the scholarship in honor of your company, a founder, or a trade professional you want to recognize.

"The [Your Company] Trades Scholarship — awarded annually through the NRC Build the Trades Drive."

A named scholarship is often the deciding factor for a major commitment at this tier.

Double the Impact

Matching Gift Campaigns

NRC is looking for one or two Gold or Champion sponsors willing to offer a matching gift window during the campaign drive.

A matching gift window — for example, "every dollar donated in the next 30 days is matched by [Sponsor], up to $2,500" — typically increases donation volume by 50–70% during the match period.

If your organization is interested in serving as a matching gift partner, contact NRC to discuss the details.

Why Sponsor This Campaign?

  • Directly address the skilled trades shortage that affects your business
  • Reach NRC's contractor network — your future workforce
  • Brand recognition across email, social, website, and print for 150 days
  • Demonstrate community and workforce investment to your own customers
  • First campaign = founding partner status for life in NRC's history
  • Named scholarship option available at Champion tier

Ambassador Contractors also earn recognition on the NRC campaign page, a co-branded certificate, and priority mention in the end-of-campaign impact report — even without a sponsor commitment.
