FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Packages & Payment About the Market
Can I participate with an in-kind contribution instead of a payment?
Yes. The market welcomes in-kind contributions such as:
  • Supplies for market activities • Volunteer refreshments • Decorations for market events • Printing or promotional support
In-kind sponsors receive recognition similar to other sponsors. Businesses can sponsor the market through:
  • Season sponsorship levels (multi-market recognition) • Special sponsorship packages such as the T-shirt Design Contest, Tote Bag Giveaway, or Season Mailer • Community activity sponsorships • In-kind sponsorships
These options allow businesses to choose a level that fits their goals and budget.
Can multiple businesses sponsor the same opportunity?
Yes. Some sponsorship opportunities, such as the Season Mailer, may include multiple sponsors sharing recognition. Other opportunities—like the T-Shirt Design Contest Sponsor or Tote Bag Sponsor—are typically reserved for a single sponsor each season. Category exclusivity applies to select tiers where only one sponsor per industry is permitted.
Can our business distribute promotional materials at the market?
In most cases, yes. Sponsors may be able to provide small promotional materials, coupons, or branded items for distribution at the welcome booth or during specific activities. All materials must be family-friendly and approved by market organizers.
Can we customize a sponsorship to fit our business goals?
Yes. The market is happy to work with businesses to create a customized sponsorship or community activation that aligns with both the sponsor’s goals and the market’s community-focused mission. Examples could include sponsoring a family activity, community giveaway, or educational experience.
Is my sponsorship tax-deductible?
Not currently. The market operates through a fiscal sponsorship partnership, with a Limited Liability Company, which does not allow sponsorship contributions to be treated as charitable support. Sponsors should consult their tax professional for specific guidance.
Is there a deadline to secure certain sponsorship packages?
Yes. Some sponsorship opportunities—such as the T-Shirt Design Contest, Tote Bag Giveaway, or Season Mailer—have earlier deadlines because they require printing and production time. Sponsors are encouraged to confirm participation before April 15th whenever possible.
When are sponsorship payments due?
Sponsorship payments are typically due upon confirmation of the sponsorship agreement so that recognition can be included in early promotional materials. Payment instructions will be provided during the confirmation process.
Why should my business sponsor the market?
Sponsoring the market allows your business to:
  • Support local farmers and small businesses • Connect with local families and community members • Increase visibility within the Timnath community • Demonstrate community leadership and local investment
Most importantly, sponsors help create a space where community happens.
Will sponsors receive photos or updates during the season?
Yes. Sponsors may receive photos, highlights, and updates from market days that show how their sponsorship is supporting the community. These materials can also be helpful for sponsors to share on their own social media channels.
Can our employees volunteer or participate in market activities?
Absolutely. Sponsors are welcome to encourage employees to visit, volunteer, or participate in market activities. Many businesses enjoy using the market as a way to engage staff in community involvement.
Can sponsors attend the market or set up a booth?
Yes. Many sponsors choose to visit the market, meet vendors, and connect with the community. Depending on the sponsorship package, booth opportunities may also be available.
How does the market measure community impact?
At the end of the season, the market shares a brief Community Impact Summary that highlights:
  • Total visitors • Number of vendors supported • Community partnerships • Volunteer involvement • Market highlights and activities
This helps demonstrate the value sponsors helped create for the community.
What happens if it rains or the weather impacts a market day?
The market is designed as an outdoor community event, and organizers monitor weather conditions carefully. If weather impacts a specific market day, sponsor recognition will continue across the season through other market days, digital promotion, and marketing materials.
What is 2nd Sunday on Main?
Every 2nd Sunday, the market aligns with a broader downtown collaboration that often increases attendance and energy. These markets typically draw higher traffic and expanded visitors from throughout Northern Colorado.
What kind of audience attends the market?
The market primarily attracts local Timnath residents and nearby Northern Colorado families. Many attendees are homeowners, young families with children, and retirees who value supporting local businesses, healthy food, and community experiences.
