Hallockville Museum Farm - Corporate Sponsorship Overview
Who we are: The Hallockville Museum Farm is a non-profit organization located at 6038 Sound Avenue in Riverhead Town on Long Island’s North Fork. The 28-acre historic farm dates from the 18th century, and has farmhouses, barns and out buildings complete with gardens, period furnishings, farm tools and livestock. Hallockville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Riverhead Town landmark. The museum farm and its activities are unique on Eastern Long Island.
What we do: Hallockville’s mission is to connect community and visitors to our shared agricultural roots by preserving, interpreting and celebrating the history and cultural heritage related to traditional farming on eastern Long Island. An increasing number of Long Islanders are interested in local agriculture and the Hallockville campus serves as an educational resource for all age groups to explore the history of farming. More than 10,000 persons visited Hallockville in 2007. This included more than 2,000 children who participated in formal educational programs, 5,000 attendees to our annual Fall Festival, and numerous other visitors throughout the year for tours and special events.
What you can do: The museum farm is funded primarily by private contributions and revenue from our events. Government grants cover less than 15% of the total operating budget and none of the organization’s capital needs. Expansion of our existing programs and meeting our capital project needs can only happen with additional private support.
Strategic partnerships with Hallockville Museum Farm provide corporate sponsors with community outreach opportunities, enhanced visibility, and demonstrable evidence of corporate citizenship. We have many opportunities for meaningful sponsorship that would not only benefit our organization but the entire East End community as well. We are located at the gateway to the wine country of Long Island’s North Fork and more than 500,000 people visit local wineries annually. There is also considerable traffic generated by local farmstands and seasonal activities including pumpkin picking. Sponsoring Hallockville would capitalize on this tourist activity and get the sponsor’s name out in front of the general public. Corporate sponsors of Hallockville events and projects receive appropriate signage, a prominent thank-you in our print and electronic publications, and acknowledgement in event programs.
