Founding 30 Local Sponsors

Be one of the Antelope Valley's 30 founding sponsors.

Guardians of the AV is building the coordination layer for the Antelope Valley's homelessness response — housing navigation, behavioral health, veteran reintegration, reentry. We're recruiting exactly 30 local businesses to back this work from the ground up.

of 30 spots committed

30 spots remaining. Founding sponsors commit before Phase 2 launch. This is demand-validation: if 30 Antelope Valley businesses don't back this in 60 days, the thesis is wrong and we'll say so publicly.

What founding sponsors receive

01

Preferred vendor status

When the Guardian Credits vendor program launches, founding sponsors get priority onboarding and first-listed placement on the resource map.

02

Phase 0 quarterly briefings

Founding sponsors receive aggregate Phase 0 field reports — what Anadora's community interviews are finding, what county partners are saying — before public release.

03

Public recognition

Your business is listed on guardiansoftheav.com/sponsors as a Founding Sponsor once our 501(c)(3) Determination Letter arrives.

04

Founding rate — locked

The commitment level you choose today is the rate you pay permanently. Standard sponsor rates in Phase 2 will be higher.

Commitment levels

This is intent capture — we're not processing payment today. Aaron will call you within 5 business days to talk through what fits your business.

Small

$25 – $75 / month

Bronze or Silver tier. Most accessible. Right for sole proprietors, micro-businesses, and service providers.

Medium

$100 – $200 / month

Gold tier. Mid-size businesses, professional practices, multi-location operators. Named in operational reports.

Large

$300 – $500 / month or $3,000+ one-time

Founder tier. Named in press materials, county briefings, and Phase 0 updates. Quarterly call with Aaron and Anadora.

Tax status — honest disclosure

Guardians of the AV's 501(c)(3) application is being prepared. Until the IRS Determination Letter arrives, founding sponsor contributions are not yet tax-deductible as charitable contributions. They are typically deductible as a business marketing or community-impact expense. If and when our own 501(c)(3) is granted, we'll update donors about any retroactive eligibility. Please consult your tax advisor. We notify every sponsor in writing the day this changes.
