Business Partner Program

CivicWell works to advance sustainable community solutions throughout California and the nation. Through our Community Matters Business Partner Program, we connect our network of local government officials with strategic private sector leaders who can provide a range of support—from planning to feasibility to financial implementation.

By becoming a member of the Community Matters Business Partner Program, you help create a strong pipeline of transformative smart growth projects. You expand your impact through cutting-edge initiatives advancing sustainability, equity, and livable community solutions.

We strive to provide Business Partners with opportunities to build relationships with local elected officials and leaders, deepen your impact, and grow brand recognition in the smart growth field.

Finding community partners that are committed to transforming the energy industry is not an easy proposition. That’s why becoming a business partner with CivicWell was an easy decision for us. No other organization has the depth of experience advocating for transformational policies and working with communities to enact real change. As a business partner, we get the opportunity to engage with and be thought partners to communities and policy makers that are looking for real solutions to big challenges.

Premium Benefits

For Business Partners at the Platinum and Gold levels, we offer several options to build a customized partnership. We look forward to working with you so you can connect with your target audience while helping improve climate resilience and livability for communities throughout California and beyond.

Implement Your Unique Idea (Platinum Only)

CivicWell will work with your company to customize a benefit that will fit your needs. Potential strategies include CivicWell submitting an Op-Ed for an agreed-upon mission-aligned topic or assisting in providing policy recommendations. We will work with your team to identify the most impactful direction and resources.

A Word from Our Business Partner

CivicWell will provide one branded spot in our Livable Places Update newsletter. Business Partners have the opportunity to share education or resources (150 words) on livability issues. All messages must be approved in advance; this is not meant for company advertorial purposes.

Data Sourcing (Platinum Only)

Are you looking to source more data in a specific target region? CivicWell can help inform your business initiatives by surveying or polling a specific target region about livability issues. We will work with you on questions and distribute the poll or survey through our contacts. All information collected will be shared directly with you.

Facebook Live Q&A

Get exposure as a thought leader on an educational livability topic with a CivicWell-hosted live lightning talk (20 minutes) with one representative from your company. We will promote the event in advance, and share the recording on our social media after the event. Format of this produced event will be coordinated in advance. All Facebook Live events are meant to provide education, and are not for company advertorial purposes.
