The Gem
Sponsorships fund the spaces, programs, and people that make The Gem at Old Stage possible — and connect your business with a growing community of entrepreneurs, makers, students, and neighbors.
Opportunities range from $10,000 to $50,000, with recognition and benefits at every level — or adopt a single piece of the building from $500.
Your support, made visible.
Every sponsorship is more than a gift — it's a lasting mark on a community asset built to serve the region for years to come.
Reach a growing community
Connect your business with entrepreneurs, makers, students, nonprofits, and neighbors across southern Wake and northern Harnett County.
Lasting recognition
From naming a space to signage, plaques, and ribbon-cutting moments, your support is visible from day one and for years to come.
Shape what gets built
Sponsor the room, studio, or program that matters most to you — and help bring that part of The Gem to life.
Choose the space you'll bring to life.
Each sponsorship funds a specific space or program inside The Gem — with recognition tailored to the level. Dollar amounts are estimates; we'll work with you to find the right fit.
