Publication Sponsorship
Sponsoring an AASHE publication is a great way to support the advancement of sustainability in higher education and to reach the growing sector of campus sustainability advocates. AASHE offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities described below, and we are happy to discuss customized sponsorship packages.
To protect and maintain the integrity of AASHE's publications, the following restrictions apply to all publication sponsorships:
- In no case does sponsorship grant any influence over the editorial contents of AASHE publications.
- AASHE reserves the right to reject sponsorships that we deem inconsistent with our mission.
- While AASHE welcomes sponsorships, we do not accept advertisements.
Sponsorship of AASHE Bulletin
AASHE Bulletin is the premier electronic newsletter on sustainability and higher education. Each week, it provides the latest campus sustainability news stories, events, resources and opportunities to a rapidly growing subscriber base (6,500 as of Aug. 2008), including administrators, faculty, staff, and students from more than 500 colleges and universities. Example issues can be found in the AASHE Bulletin archives.
Long-term Sponsorship
Long-term sponsors are recognized with placement of a logo on the right sidebar of every issue during the sponsorship period (as shown in this example issue). Each logo will be hyperlinked to the sponsor's website. Long-term sponsorships are limited to no more than five at any given time, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Long term sponsorship rates are as follows (in US$):
| 1 year | 6 months | |
| Member | $2,500 | $1,500 |
| Non-Member | $3,250 | $2,000 |
Long-term sponsors may cancel their sponsorship at any time, and will be reimbursed in proportion to the remainder of the sponsorship period, minus a $100 cancellation processing fee.
Single-Issue Sponsorship
Single issue sponsors are recognized with a hyperlinked logo and a 2-line description immediately following the table of contents (as shown in this example issue). We can accommodate only one single-issue sponsor per Bulletin. Issue sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The rates to sponsor a single issue are as follows (in US$):
| Member | $150 |
| Non-Member | $200 |
As this is a sponsorship rather than an advertisement, the sponsor description must be neutral in tone and may not contain qualitative or comparative language. In addition, the description may not include price information or direct inducements to buy, sell, or use the sponsor's products or services.
Sponsorship of AASHE Digest
AASHE Digest is a major annual review of campus sustainability efforts produced at the beginning of each year. Comprised of several hundred stories from the previous year's AASHE Bulletins, the Digest serves as a key reference for who is doing what to advance sustainability in higher education. The Digest is consulted year-round for ideas and inspiration. The 2005 edition was viewed over 20,000 times in the first month and an average of 3,000 times per month over the rest of the year.
Sponsors of the Digest are recognized with a logo and a 2-line description on the inside cover (as shown in previous editions). In addition, sponsors will be mentioned in the announcement of the release of the Digest. We accept up to 6 sponsors per edition, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The rates to sponsor AASHE Digest are as follows (in US$):
| Member | $1,000 |
| Non-Member | $1,500 |
As this is a sponsorship rather than an advertisement, the sponsor description must be neutral in tone and may not contain qualitative or comparative language. In addition, the description may not include price information or direct inducements to buy, sell, or use the sponsor's products or services.
