Sponsorship

After a successful inaugural YAAS in 2024 with the help from generous grants from the Concord Education Fund and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, as well as massive support from the Concord Free Public Library and the CCHS Parents' Association, we're now raising funds via business sponsorship to offset the costs of organizing the festival. Sponsoring YAAS is a great opportunity to increase the visibility of your business while also supporting the local creative community. 

Sponsorship levels are as follows:

Novel Level: $500-1,000

Name and/or logo on all print and digital materials 

Name and/or logo and on YAAS website with link to company website and blurb about company

Recognition in press releases and media interviews

Display of company banner at festival (banner provided by the company)

Social media and stage announcements

Short Story Level: $250-499

Flash Fiction Level: $50-$249

Please note! Beyond monetary donations (which are most welcome), sponsorship levels also apply for in-kind donations. We are happy to accept donations of food and drink for authors and/or festival attendees, as well as books, gift cards, or other merchandise that can be raffled off to attendees.

We sincerely hope you’ll consider supporting YAAS. Please reach out to us via email to find out more and ask any questions, and sign up for our free newsletter to learn the latest about this year’s festival here.
