Why Sponsor Central Furniture Rescue?
At Central Furniture Rescue, our mission is clear: to turn a place to live into a home. We provide essential furniture and household items to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness or crisis. When you choose to sponsor with us, you’re not just giving — you’re creating dignity, stability, and hope in someone’s life.
We’ve developed multiple ways for organizations and individuals to partner with us—from sponsoring events to branding on our delivery vehicles to direct giving. Each sponsorship opportunity brings visibility, community goodwill, and a tangible impact. Below is how you can get involved and amplify your commitment.
Event Sponsorships
We host signature events throughout the year, each designed to engage our community, highlight our mission, and raise critical support. Your sponsorship helps underwrite costs, increase reach, and deliver a meaningful experience.
For each event, we offer multiple tiers (e.g. Title Sponsor, Supporting Sponsor, Table Sponsor) so your brand can align with the level of investment that suits you best.
Cookies & Cocoa
This festive, family-friendly event brings together community members for sweet treats, warm drinks, and the spirit of giving during the holiday season. As a sponsor, your brand will appear on event signage, digital promotions, and on-site materials. You’ll be seen by attendees and media alike while supporting a heartwarming tradition.
Furnishing the Future
An annual fundraiser that showcases stories of transformation, invites guest speakers, and celebrates how furniture changes lives. Sponsorship includes recognition in event programs, stage signage, social media shout-outs, and invitations to exclusive sponsor receptions. Learn more about Furnishing the Future.
Trivia Nights
Our trivia nights are quick, lively, and community-centric, allowing local businesses to sponsor rounds or tables! Your logo appears on scorecards, question sheets, and promotional flyers. It’s a fun, casual way to engage with local audiences while aligning with a worthwhile cause.
Realtor Nights
We’re revamping this event series in 2026! Stay tuned for details.
Vehicle & Logo Sponsorships
One of the most visible ways to support our mission is through vehicle sponsorships. Our delivery fleet travels throughout the Cedar Rapids area daily—your logo on our trucks means repeated brand exposure in real-world settings.
Box Truck Logo Placement
Sponsor logo placement on our box trucks gives your brand front-and-center exposure in neighborhoods, business districts, and on delivery routes. It’s a rolling billboard tied to service and trust in the community.
Trailer Logo Placement
We also offer sponsorship on our delivery trailers — your name and logo will be displayed on the trailers that help us transport furniture across neighborhoods. As trailers move, your brand moves too, reinforcing visibility across broader service zones.
Currently, we invite interested sponsors to contact us to discuss customized trailer sponsorship packages.
Standard Giving & Designated Donations
Beyond events and vehicle branding, sponsors can support our ongoing mission by funding specific needs. On our website, we list several targeted “purchase options” donors can underwrite:
- Prepare & Serve a Meal – $50 per household: covers kitchen kit essentials like pots, pans, dishes, utensils, glasses, towels, and related items
- Ability to Bathe – $25 per household: provides bath towels, washcloths, shower curtains, bath mats, and waste baskets
- Good Night’s Sleep – $120 per person: furnishes a mattress, box spring, frame, and bedding
- A Place to Relax – $300: supplies a couch or loveseat, chair, end table, and lamp
These designated gifts allow donors (or sponsoring organizations) to see precisely where their support is going and connect more intimately to a recipient’s journey.
