Corporate Partners and Sponsorship Opportunities
Become involved in a highly visible corporate partnership or sponsorship with the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy - one of Detroit's greatest community assets and a destination for more than 2 million visitors every year. Our guests mirror the demographic diversity of metropolitan Detroit as a whole and include a growing number of out-of-town tourists who choose to make the RiverWalk a destination during their stay in the southeast Michigan area.
Founded in 2003, the Conservancy is a private, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization. Its mission is the development of access on the Detroit International riverfront. The plan is to create a planned 5 ½ miles of public waterfront linked by a continuous RiverWalk with parks, plazas and green spaces from the Ambassador Bridge to Gabriel Richard Park, just east of the Belle Isle/MacArthur Bridge. Once completed, the Conservancy is responsible for the improvement, operations, maintenance and programming of the riverfront in perpetuity.
Meeting Multiple Corporate Goals
The Conservancy is an ideal partner for maximizing your investment in the community. Its excellent programs and multi-faceted audience appeal offer a unique opportunity to achieve multiple corporate objectives.
