Co-sponsors help OACC meet new challenges

Co-sponsors play an essential role in making the Ozark Area Community Congress possible. Your support helps create a gathering rooted in care for the Ozark bioregion while keeping OACC accessible to people with a wide range of financial circumstances.

Last year, in response to rising camp costs, OACC adopted a community-supported registration model. Rather than setting a fixed registration fee, we invited participants to "pay what you can, but please consider our costs." The response was encouraging. Together we covered the costs of the gathering while also strengthening OACC's future.

Because of that success, we will continue this approach for OACC 47.

Co-sponsors make this possible. While the average cost of attendance is expected to be about $80 per participant, co-sponsorships help bridge the gap between registration income and the actual cost of creating the gathering. They also provide the stability that allows OACC to remain welcoming, resilient, and volunteer-run.

OACC has been sustained for 47 years through the generosity of people who care about the Ozarks and the relationships formed here. We are deeply grateful for that continuing support.

What are Co-Sponsors?

Co-Sponsors are individuals, businesses, and organizations who support OACC's work of strengthening an ecologically sustainable Ozark bioregion through education, community, and shared stewardship.

A Co-Sponsorship is $160.

In appreciation Co-Sponsors receive:

• 2 adult admissions for this year’s OACC gathering
• Exhibit space during OACC
• Recognition in the printed OACC brochure (for cosponsorships received by July 30th)
• Recognition on the OACC website, social media, and email updates.
• Recognition  during the annual gathering

Become a Co-Sponsor

• by registering and paying online
• by printing and mailing the Co-Sponsorship form with your payment

Co-Sponsorship applications are accepted throughout the year. Those received after July 30 will still be recognized on the website and inmail updates leading up to OACC.

Questions are always welcome at Oaccleaf@gmail.com
