Ad Council of Rochester supporters recognize the importance of pulling together the intellectual, creative, and financial resources of thousands of individuals and organizations to make our community stronger. For every dollar contributed by our Members and Sponsors in 2009, the Ad Council leveraged $7.71 in donated goods and services for the nonprofits that we serve—so you can feel good that your dollar goes farther when you give to the Ad Council.

There are many opportunities for your organization to support the Ad Council and the over 200 nonprofit organizations that we serve each year.
