Become a Founding Partner
NRC sponsors provide the early momentum that makes the entire campaign possible — and earn recognition throughout the full drive.
Scholarship Giving Levels
Each giving level funds a specific scholarship type. Select the level that reflects your organization's capacity — every contribution is tax-deductible and 80¢ of every dollar goes directly to a student.
Fund a High School Senior entering a trade program.
Keep a current trade student enrolled and on track.
Support an adult changing careers into the skilled trades.
Help an honorably discharged veteran build a trade career.
Fund the top-tier award for an exceptional applicant — with the option to name the scholarship.
Every dollar counts. Give what you can and help build the trades pipeline.
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.
A named scholarship is often the deciding factor for a major commitment at this tier.
Double the Impact
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.
Discuss Matching GiftAmbassador 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.
