Corporate Support

Corporate support from local and national companies is essential to The Madison’s ability to maintain its position as a dynamic cultural example in Central Phoenix. More than 60 businesses in our community understand the economic benefits of partnering with The Madison — both for themselves and for our entire region.

Why The Madison is an Essential part of our Community:

Education is the heart of The Madison Center for the Arts. We enlighten, enliven and engage community members of all ages and backgrounds through the arts.

Theatrical performances keep discretionary spending in Central Phoenix and the Madison School District. Artists and crew eat in area restaurants, visit area shops, stay in area hotels, and pay taxes on these services. Our children’s classroom learning is enriched through The Madison Matinee education programs that take place in at least five times a year for all schools in the Madison Elementary School District. The Madison’s presence enhances the entire region’s quality of life, helping chambers and businesses recruit other businesses and employees.

How Partnering with The Madison Benefits Your Business:

More than one-half (56%) of those with an interest in the arts say they would almost always or frequently patronize a business that sponsors arts organizations or cultural events over one that does not. Almost one-half (48%) of Americans with an interest in arts and cultural events expressed higher trust in companies that sponsor these events.*

The Madison offers unique opportunities to reach Madison District area subscribers, single ticket buyers, donors and the Central Phoenix community through concert sponsorship and education program underwriting. As The Madison corporate supporter, area businesses are able to:

  • Develop and/or strengthen corporate branding and awareness efforts.
  • Reach highly desirable, affluent and loyal audiences with a message about your company, brand, product and/or service.
  • Maximize your corporate advertising investment by utilizing a cost-effective alternative to traditional advertising vehicles – the audience defines the relevance of your message and therefore guarantees likely acceptance and success.
  • Enhance your current marketing efforts through grass roots, lifestyle-based marketing.
  • Establish a powerful association with one of the only arts organization affiliated and dedicated to arts educational programming

Ways Your Business Can Ensure the Cultural Vitality of The Madison District and Central Phoenix:

SHOW SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship of a show within The Madison Presents Series offers your company broad community exposure through print and digital advertisements, in-hall recognition, and customer and employee appreciation through entertainment value. Sponsorship benefits include tickets, priority parking, and receptions. All sponsorship options will enable your business to maximize its support of The Madison to further its advertising, marketing, and public relations objectives by demonstrating its presence and commitment to the quality of life in Central Phoenix, while entertaining clients, executives and employees in a sophisticated manner.

Education Program Underwriting

By underwriting The Madison’s many arts education offerings, your business makes an investment in every Madison School District’s future. All arts education programs strengthen our district’s schools by enhancing our children’s ability to learn other classroom subjects through the arts. According to The College Entrance Examination Board, children who receive music education at an early age score higher on standardized tests such as the SAT and reading proficiency exams because early sensory and motor development influences later cognitive, perception and language skills.

Last season over 18,000 pre-schools through middle school students benefited from the learning advantage provided by The Madison’s education programs. For more information about these programs, please call The Madison.

If your business is interested in a show sponsorship or underwriting an arts education program, please contact the Director of The Madison or the Madison Education Foundation for a customized proposal.
