Simple. Pay here! In rare instances, we may reject sponsorships that do not align with our mission. In the unusual event we reject your sponsorship, we will refund your donation.

Your sponsorship will take effect within one month of your donation. Most sponsorships, however, will start taking effect within 1-2 weeks. Please email us at stlveganmarket@gmail.com if you need us to expedite the process.

We outlined some of the perks of becoming an official STL Vegan Market sponsor on this webpage under “Sponsorship levels.” Benefits include social media shout-outs, inclusion on our website, and ads in our event programs. Depending our your sponsorship level, you may also have access to free booth space, inclusion on our posters, and special recognition, both on and offline.

Benefits include the perks discussed above, in addition to other perks not explicitly enumerated and some that we plan to add later on. The biggest benefit, however, is building a thriving community that prioritizes the wellbeing of people, animals, and the planet. You can help us build a humane economy where animals no longer suffer and die for profit. That is a reward in and of itself!

STL Vegan Market is now the most advertised and attended vegan event in St. Louis. But unlike most vegan festivals, STL Vegan Market happens every month, from April through October! This means you can build sustained engagement from month to month without having a huge falloff after a single one-day event. We also have 6,000 followers we can advertise to, with our market reaching over 200,000 people and attracting over 5,000 attendees in 2024. This amount of publicity in the vegan space is hard to come by!

You absolutely can! As long as you only sell vegan goods and your business aligns with our values of compassion, sustainability, and ethical living, you are welcome to vend at STL Vegan Market. If you donate $100 or more per market ($700 or more per season), you will receive one free booth space. You will also receive preferential placement at our markets in recognition of your generosity. Apply to vend here.

Your sponsorship will strengthen the market, our local community, and the broader movement for a just, sustainable world in a variety of ways.

First, you will help us raise awareness about all the delightful vegan alternatives to animal products. STL Vegan Market reached over 200,000 St. Louisans in 2024 with our message of sustainable, compassionate, plant-based living.

Second, you will help build vegan community. STL Vegan Market is a community-building powerhouse, bringing together over 5,000 people in 2024 (and thousands more to come this year!) Community is the foundation of any successful movement.

Third, you will help reduce animal suffering. By providing clear alternatives to animal products and inspiring people to live a more plant-based lifestyle, you will help us spare thousands of animals from a lifetime of suffering on factory farms and a brutal death at slaughterhouses.

Fourth, you will fortify our local humane economy. The local vegan business community benefits enormously from the market, with the market conservatively injecting $150,000+ into our local humane economy every year.

Fifth, you will help us pay for a variety of market expenses and thereby sustain the market. You will help pay for supplies, services, and marketing campaigns that maximize reach, turnout, and impact.

There are so many good reasons to sponsor the market, and there is so much good you can accomplish by sponsoring the market. Please become an official STL Vegan Market sponsor here today!

There are many ways to support the market! You can share our event pages, invite friends, and spend heartily while you’re at the market. The biggest way to help us, however, is to invest in our market with a monetary donation or sponsorship. Donations and sponsorships help us sustain and grow the market. You can make donations and secure your sponsorship here.
