If your business is interested in joining our efforts to raise money for Vermont non-profits working to improve women's lives, please review our Sponsorship Levels information and contact us.

We know most of our sponsors get involved becuase they care about the causes we support, want to give back to our community and love our event. But we know that our business partners have a choice of causes and events to support so we work very hard to make the partnership a win-win. We'd love to talk with you and together figure out a mutually beneficial partnership.

Business Partners

The relationships with established with our business partners are paramount to our success. Support from more than 35 local businesses enables us to keep our operating expenses minimal; so that virtually every dollar we raise, goes directly to our beneficiary. Businesses support The Clothes Exchange by offering both cash and in-kind contributions.

Retail Partners

In addition to collecting gently used clothes from the closets of well-dressed women, The Burlington Clothes Exchange is fortunate to partner with local retailers, who donate new merchandise, host Bring Backs and help promote our event to their customers.

Retailers donating new merchandise valued at $5,000 or more are offered exclusive promotion at the event, included branded racks and/or boutique space to feature the merchandise they've contributed.

Clean Closet, Good Karma - Bring Back Promotion

In addition to donating new, over stock or out of season merchandise, many of our retail partners host Clean Closet, Good Karma Bring Back Programs to benefit The Clothes Exchange. 

A Bring Back is a great way for retailers to support The Clothes Exchange and reward their customers with a gift or coupon towards future purchase, for bringing in their gently worn, quality clothing of a specific brand or category. The Clothes Exchange makes it easy for retailer to particpate by providing templates for posters, flyers and advertisements; so promoting a Bring Back event is easy.

There are many ways to shape a “bring back” program, and we love to work with our partners to structure programs that make sense for their businesses.
