SPONSOR EARTH DAY 2026
We invite you to partner with us for the Ventura Earth Day Festival 2026, taking place on April 18, at Park Plaza in downtown Ventura. Hosted by the MERITO Foundation in collaboration with the City of Ventura Environmental Sustainability Division, Downtown Ventura Partners, and Electric Vehicles (EV) Advocates of Ventura County (VC), this annual celebration brings together families, local businesses, and community members to honor and protect our planet.
Last year, the festival welcomed more than 5,000 attendees and featured 50+ environmentally focused organizations, agencies, businesses, and food vendors. This year’s event will again offer live music and performances, environmental education, and interactive activities for all ages.
We invite your organization to support this year’s festival as a corporate sponsor. Sponsorships directly support essential event needs such as entertainment, sound system, waste management, publicity and advertising, security, bike valet parking, and other logistics that ensure a safe, accessible, and memorable experience for our community.
The MERITO Foundation is a Ventura-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting the ocean by providing free, transformative environmental education for multicultural youth and their communities. Through hands-on science, outdoor recreation, and sustainability-focused programs, MERITO serves 3,000–4,000 students annually, empowering the next generation of environmental stewards.
By sponsoring the Ventura Earth Day Festival, you are investing in environmental awareness, youth empowerment, and a healthier future for our community. We would be honored to recognize your organization as a partner in this important celebration.
With an ocean of gratitude,
MERITO Foundation Board & staff
