Become a Sponsor

Together,

We Make a Difference.

Building partnerships brings to life our core values of community, connection, intention, and joy for the benefit of everyone here at NOVA and in our local neighborhood.

See the organizations that support us.

Choose your impact!

Sponsor one of our clubs, become a Program Partner with a general sponsorship, or do a combo of the two! Either way you are making it possible for students to broaden their experiences and build on their passions.
All sponsors receive the benefits noted below in addition to what is described for each category.

The Big Bash! Sponsor

The Big Bash! is NOVA Middle School’s annual community celebration, happening April 25 from 6–9pm at NOVA. It’s a 21+ evening with good food and drinks and even better company — a chance to gather and celebrate all our families who make NOVA such a special place.

Your sponsorship will allow us to cover the cost of the event while continuing to support NOVA students and our innovative programs they thrive on.

We don’t do sponsorship tiers! Any gift of $250 or more includes full sponsor recognition as outline below. We invite you to give at a level that feels right for you. For those who are able, giving a little more can make an even bigger difference.

Rest assured, it goes right back to the students—innovative programs, field trips, and all the ways we go above and beyond in providing them a middle school education that prepares them for high school and life beyond. It's not about the event, it's about the timing!

Land Acknowledgement

NOVA is located on the ancestral lands of the Steh-Chass band of the Squaxin Island Tribe and Nisqually Indian Tribe, who have long been stewards of the region’s waters, plants, and animals. The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples. We recognize that all who are not Salish peoples are visitors here. We commit to join these peoples to share their history, build relationships, increase representation, and restore the living world around us.
