Sponsor a Solano resident’s recovery — on your own terms.
Guardians of Solano turns a sponsorship dollar into a specific credit — a meal at a named café, a haircut at a named shop, a pair of work boots from a named store. You pick the lane. We report the outcomes. Your dollars stay inside Fairfield, Vallejo, and Suisun.
Why a business sponsors Guardians of Solano
Operational transparency
Every dollar maps to a specific credit redeemed at a named partner business — receipt-level reporting, not annual-report platitudes.
You pick the lane
Sponsor a meal lane, a grooming lane, a clothing lane, a specific event, or a population (veterans, families with kids, women fleeing DV). Not a general fund.
Local-loop dollars
Credits are redeemed at Fairfield, Vallejo, and Suisun businesses. Your sponsorship recirculates inside Solano County — it doesn't leave for a national overhead.
Tax status — honest
Our 501(c)(3) application is being prepared. Until it lands, your sponsorship is a marketing / community-impact spend, not yet tax-deductible. We'll tell you the day that changes.
Three ways in
Start at any tier. Move between them. Every tier gets receipt-level outcome reporting against the lane you sponsored.
Single event sponsor
- Fund a specific event end-to-end — e.g., back-to-school cuts for 35 kids, or 50 lunch credits across a holiday week.
- Logo on the Sponsor wall for the duration of the event.
- Post-event one-pager: who, how many, where the dollars landed.
Monthly partner
- Dedicated credit lane in your kind — e.g., the “Coffee Shop A Monthly Lunch Lane” — named on the redemption page.
- Quarterly outcome report: credits issued, redeemed, redemption rate, partner businesses touched.
- Logo on the Sponsor wall, year-round.
Founding sponsor
- Co-branding on operational reports (the same reports we send to county HHS).
- Quarterly stakeholder briefing with the founders.
- Featured on the /solano operational pitch we present to county supervisors.
- Logo on every page footer, site-wide.

Common questions
How is this different from the /support page?
/support is for individuals donating $25-$250 with a card, through Stripe. /sponsor is for businesses, chambers, congregations, and corporate-CSR teams committing $500 to $25,000+ to a specific lane or event. Sponsorships move offline — invoice, ACH, or check — once we’ve talked through what you want to fund.
Where do my dollars actually go?
Into credits — meal credits, grooming credits, clothing credits, gear credits — that residents redeem at named partner businesses inside Fairfield, Vallejo, and Suisun. We report redemption back to you at the credit level. No general-fund bucket.
Can I sponsor a specific event or week?
Yes — that’s Tier 1. Back-to-school cuts, a holiday lunch week, a women’s-shelter clothing drive, a Travis AFB veteran-lane month. Tell us in the form what you have in mind and we’ll scope it with you.
What about tax deductibility?
Our 501(c)(3) application is being prepared. Right now your sponsorship is a marketing or community-impact spend (typically deductible as a business expense), not yet a charitable deduction. We’ll notify every sponsor in writing the day that changes. Contributions made after our 501(c)(3) determination date will be eligible for a charitable deduction receipt at that time.
Do you accept in-kind sponsorships?
Yes — gift cards, gear, professional services (legal, accounting, design), space for events. Note that in the form and we’ll write up the equivalent dollar value alongside your cash sponsors on the wall.
