Business and individual sponsorships play vital roles in assisting the Highlands-Cashiers Center for Life Enrichment (CLE) to maintain a strong core of offerings and improve CLE’s ability to reach a broad audience. Through its impressive slate of community events and programs, CLE plays a pivotal role in making The Plateau a vibrant and exciting place to visit, live, and invest.

CLE operates with very low overhead. This results in almost all sponsorship dollars directly defraying the costs associated with high-profile speakers, performers, and community events. CLE is also a registered 501 (c) (3) entity, which may make your sponsorship eligible for special tax treatment. In addition, CLE works with sponsors to tailor various means of recognition to maximize returns for businesses and individuals. When businesses and the CLE community work together, everyone benefits, creating a stronger, more vibrant, and interesting place to visit, live, and work.
 
For the 2026 season, we have worked to make the sponsorship process easier and more streamlined by utilizing Amilia, our online registration system. We invite you to review the 2026 season offerings and select the speaker you would like to sponsor by adding the speaker to your cart and completing the checkout process in Amilia.

Sponsorships are priced between $500 and $1,000, depending on the speaker and the negotiated rate for each presentation. Sponsorship opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are truly excited about the year ahead and the continued growth of the CLE community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—we are happy to assist in any way and look forward to another successful season together.
