Evanston Now supports a wide range of community organizations and events.

Although news is our business, we believe we also have a social responsibility to enrich and improve our community through strategic philanthropy.

Our support isn’t limited to what our reporters can cover. We publish news and information contributed by nonprofits and partner with area foundations and nonprofit groups on programs and projects.

Qualified nonprofit clients are eligible for advertising discounts as well as 50/50 in-kind sponsorships for events and initiatives. A minimum advertising purchase of $500 is required for sponsorship consideration.

To apply, please complete the sponsorship application below. The deadline for consideration is 90 days prior to the event.
