Business Partnership Program

The success of GEF depends on the strength of its partnerships – with our schools, our community and our business leaders. The GEF Business Partnership Program is a dynamic group of companies and professionals from the City of Glendale and neighboring communities who support our success with financial contributions.

Partnering with GEF is a great way to support our schools and promote your business, especially within the City of Glendale and neighboring communities. Outstanding schools help strengthen the entire community, including the business community.

As a GEF Business Partner, you’ll receive recognition on many levels:

All donations of $1000 or more are listed on the GEF website, complete with a link to your site.
Based on your donation amount, you’ll receive donor recognition at GEF events.
In addition, you’ll get a window decal to let the community know of your support.

Whether your business gives $100 or $100,000, there is a place for you in the Business Partnership Program. Partners gain the satisfaction of knowing they’ve done their part in contributing to the success of our outstanding schools. As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, your donations are also tax deductible.
