Become a corporate sponsor

The Environmental Centers of Setauket-Smithtown, Inc.’s Sweetbriar Nature Center, a private not-for-profit 501(c) education organization, is dedicated to providing natural science education and wildlife rehabilitation services to Long Island residents of all ages. Located on a beautiful 54-acre preserve in Smithtown, Sweetbriar offers a diverse range of programs to inspire and educate visitors, while working to rehabilitate and care for our local wildlife.

Since our founding in 1970, Sweetbriar has served over one million Long Islanders through a variety of programs, including school visits, on-site classes, scout programs, nature birthday parties, and internships in education, animal care, and botany. In addition to our programs, we proudly maintain a variety of wildlife habitats, organic gardens, animal collections, and an outdoor Butterfly Vivarium to engage and educate our visitors. We provide crucial wildlife rehabilitation services, taking in thousands of orphaned or injured animals each year, with the goal of releasing them back into the wild.

However, these programs require significant financial resources, and we depend on the generous support of our members, corporate sponsors, grants, and donations. This is where we hope you will consider partnering with us as a corporate sponsor to help us continue our vital work.

We have developed several sponsorship opportunities that offer great benefits and visibility for your company:

  • Swift Screech Owl Sponsor – $250
    Your company’s name will be listed on our website with a direct link to your site, giving your brand exposure to our broad audience of visitors and supporters.

  • Gliding Osprey Sponsor – $500
    In addition to website recognition and a link to your site, your company will also be mentioned in our social media posts, extending your reach to our engaged online community.

  • Soaring Eagle Sponsor – $1,000 and up
    As a Soaring Eagle Sponsor, your company will receive prominent recognition on our website, a direct link to your site, and mentions across our social media platforms. This top-tier sponsorship demonstrates your commitment to environmental education and wildlife conservation while showcasing your brand to our dedicated followers.

Each of these sponsorship levels provides valuable exposure for your company while supporting our mission to educate the public and care for wildlife. With your support, we can continue providing affordable education programs and essential wildlife rehabilitation services for the Long Island community.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact. We look forward to discussing how we can partner to achieve these important goals.

Warm regards,
