Sponsor HYPHAE

HYPHAE Sponsorship Options

The foundation of HYPHAE is one that is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, community care, and creative entrepreneurship. There is no “us” without “you” – our collective success and rooting is intertwined with yours. As we work to open our doors, we invite you into a unique opportunity to be a part of the first year of the first ever ever retail and creative skills/workshop space dedicated to 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC makers in Western Massachusetts.

Sponsorship Levels & Benefits

We offer six sponsorship tiers to fit your budget and maximize your brand’s visibility so that you can grow alongside us.
