CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS

Empower Chicago-area youth and amplify impact
through the transformative power of music.

UpBeat's corporate sponsorship program offers businesses an opportunity to support a transformative initiative that empowers Chicago-area youth through music education. By partnering with UpBeat, our sponsors make it possible to provide students with mentorship, scholarships, and performance opportunities that foster both artistic and personal growth. Our sponsors’ support helps expand our reach, ensuring more students have access to high-quality programming that builds confidence, creativity, and leadership skills. In return, sponsors gain brand recognition and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the community.

Additionally, by participating in UpBeat events—including student concerts and fundraising initiatives—sponsors have valuable opportunities to network and collaborate with influential professionals and music enthusiasts, furthering their commitment to supporting youth and community development. With UpBeat, sponsors don’t just invest in music education—they join a movement that celebrates creativity, mentorship, and community.
