Submission
Policy
• If you are a non-profit organization, your use of the
directory will not be affected by the new submission policy. You may be asked
to answer a few additional questions when updating your information, but you
will continue to have FREE access to submitting information. Sponsors are the
only source of funding for the online directory. We ask all of our non-profit
organizations to consider a sponsorship. We understand that budgets are tight,
however in relation to other program advertising it is very inexpensive with
levels beginning at $50 for a year posting.
• If you are a for profit organization, you will continue
to have FREE access to the entering events into the database. If you wish to
enter an agency and programs in the directory, beginning January 1, 2009 you
are asked to provide at least a $50 sponsorship. Sponsors are the only source
of funding for the directory and we hope that you will continue to post your
information following this change.
Benefits of being a sponsor include a variety of recognition.
Recognition includes:
• Listing in a thumbresources.org display and promotion materials (as space
allows)
• Posting under new sponsors on the thumbresource.org home page for 30
days
• One year listing on the About Us page.
• Home page sponsors and their logo are included on the home page for one
year.
