Corporations and Foundations
We are able to deliver 64 million pounds of good food this year thanks to the generous support of hundreds of corporate and foundation funders.

SPECIAL EVENT SPONSORSHIP
Sponsoring a City Harvest special event is a great visibility opportunity for your company. Our events offer a fun and unique way to entertain clients and showcase your partnership with City Harvest.
City Harvest holds three major fundraising events every year:
- An Evening of Practical Magic gala in April: An elegant dinner and live auction attended by over 600 of NYC’s high profile individuals, influencers and celebrities. Serving as City Harvest’s biggest and most important fundraising event of the year, the 2015 gala broke records, raising $4.6 million.
- BID in October: Our signature tasting event, attended by 1,000 affluent food lovers and featuring more than 50 of the city’s best restaurants in addition to exciting live and silent auctions. BID raised $1.5 million in 2017.
- Summer in the City in June: Our summer cocktail party and culinary experience. In 2018 the event was attended by over 600 young, philanthropically-minded tastemakers.
Sponsorship opportunities begin at $5,000, and can include custom, single-branded activations for an incremental cost.
