Why Partner with CCGA?

When you sponsor the Colorado Corn Growers Association, you're not just supporting agriculture—you're investing in the proven team that turns agricultural challenges into victories. Our track record speaks for itself: over $1.2 billion secured for Colorado agriculture since 2018.

Most agricultural organizations meet occasionally. CCGA works Washington every Friday morning. That's the difference between hoping for results and delivering them.

Your sponsorship funds the strategic advocacy, policy expertise, and coalition building that keeps Colorado agriculture competitive in an increasingly challenging environment.

The CCGA Advantage

01

Proven Results

Our Friday morning advocacy sessions have secured over $1.2 billion in assistance for Colorado agriculture. From COVID relief to trade war mitigation, disaster assistance to crop insurance victories—we deliver when it matters most.

02

Professional Expertise

Our board includes political veterans and national board members who understand both farming and policy, working alongside the Southwest Council of Agribusiness and its Washington representation. This combination of agricultural knowledge and political expertise gets results.

03

Strategic Partnerships

Through SWCA and NCGA alliances, your investment reaches national policy circles. Recent partnership victories include expanding disaster relief eligibility statewide—potentially multiplying relief payments several times over.

04

Independence & Integrity

We're funded entirely through voluntary support—no automatic fees or government mandates. This independence means we advocate for what's right for agriculture, not what's politically convenient.

05

Direct Access

As a sponsor, you gain direct access to our policy experts, attorney board members, and political veterans. Get insider perspectives on issues affecting your business before they become headlines.

06

Amplified Impact

Your sponsorship investment doesn't work alone—it's amplified through our powerful partnerships and strategic alliances that multiply our influence in Washington and beyond.

Voluntary Partnership, Measurable Results

The Colorado Corn Growers Association operates through voluntary support, distinguishing us from organizations funded through automatic assessments. We collect no checkoff dollars and receive no mandated fees.

This independence is our strength. It means we can advocate aggressively for what's right for agriculture without worrying about political sensitivities or bureaucratic constraints. Every dollar we receive is a conscious investment in effective advocacy.

Your sponsorship directly funds the lobbying efforts, policy battles, and coalition building that delivers the billion-dollar results our track record demonstrates.

Why the corn checkoff cannot do this work →

What We Are Raising, and What It Buys

This association needs about $50,000 a year to keep working. That is what pays for the Washington representation, the trips, the lobbying through the Southwest Council of Agribusiness, and the annual meeting. We take no checkoff money — by law the checkoff cannot spend a cent on policy — so every dollar of it comes from the businesses and growers who decide this work is worth paying for.

Slots are limited on purpose. A sponsor band with thirty logos in it is worth nothing to any of them. There are three Champion places, four Advocacy and six Supporting, and when they are gone they are gone until somebody does not renew.

CHAMPION PARTNER

$10,000 a year

Three places · two open

  • You carry one of our three running updates. Each Champion sponsors a stream — the bill updates, the payment announcements, or the meeting announcements — and your name rides on every one that goes out, on the site and on Facebook. AcreProfit holds payment announcements; bill updates and meeting announcements are open.
  • That is a steady drumbeat, not a one-off. At least three bill updates a week, a meeting announcement every week, and every payment or program the day it is announced — well over a hundred and fifty times a year your name reaches Colorado corn growers. It works out to a few dollars a mention.
  • Your logo in the top row of the sponsor band, on the home page, linked to your site
  • Named from the podium at the annual meeting, and on the programme
  • A table at the annual meeting if you want one, to talk to growers directly
  • Recognition on our Facebook page when you come on and through the year
  • A direct line to the board. When something moves in Washington or Denver that touches your sector, you hear what we know
  • First refusal on your place before it is offered to anyone else next year

ADVOCACY PARTNER

$5,000 a year

Four places · all open

  • Your name rotates across our news. As coverage is published, the four Advocacy partners cycle through it, so your name turns up beside the work through the year
  • Your logo in the sponsor band on the home page, linked to your site
  • Named at the annual meeting and on the programme
  • Recognition on our Facebook page
  • Policy updates on what we are working and where it stands
  • First refusal on your place next year

SUPPORTING PARTNER

$2,500 a year

Six places · all open

  • Your name on the sponsor banner on the home page, with the Supporting partners
  • Named at the annual meeting
  • Recognition on our Facebook page
  • Policy updates through the year

FRIEND OF AGRICULTURE

Any amount
  • $50 goes a long way. This tier is for individual growers, not just businesses — give what makes sense for your operation
  • Your name on this page if you want it there
  • Policy updates and invitations to what we hold

Who We Are Asking

We are calling on banks and ag lenders, fuel and energy companies, equipment and irrigation dealers, and car dealerships — the businesses that already sell to, lend to and service these operations.

The argument is simple enough. A grower who gets a disaster payment through, or keeps a farm solvent through a bad year, is a grower who is still your customer next spring. This association is the reason a number of them are. Your name sitting beside that work, where growers see it, is what the sponsorship buys.
