Why Sponsor Launch League?

This isn't a logo on a banner. This is your name on a real competition award — with real community recognition.

Brand Visibility

Your logo on competition materials, social media, and the community stage.

Community Impact

Directly support Ontario founders and non-profits — and be part of something meaningful.

Award Naming Rights

Name an award category after your business — recognition throughout the current competition cycle.

Audience Reach

Reach entrepreneurs, students, families, judges, and community leaders.

Talent Pipeline

Meet ambitious Ontarians building businesses and community impact — your next hire or partner.

Economic Development

Help grow Ontario's economy and support the next generation of local businesses.

What your sponsorship funds

Award sponsorship goes to the prize it names — all of it, to an Ontario entrant. Running the season is funded separately, through partnerships and general contributions, so your award money is never spent on overhead.

Award sponsorship pays the prize — all of it, to an Ontario entrant. Partnership funds delivery: the platform, travel to classrooms, Awards Night, and the people who run the season. We would rather tell you that than pretend this runs on air.

Sponsors can name an award and get visibility across the platform, but sponsors never select winners or influence judging. Every entry is scored independently by volunteer judges — see our Competition Rules for details.

Not naming an award? You can still chip in.

Anything from $5 up goes to the prize pool and to keeping entry free for every student in Ontario. It takes about a minute, and you choose whether we list you as a supporter.

Contribute to Launch League

Launch League is not a registered charity, so contributions are not tax-receiptable. If that changes, we'll say so here.
