However, in order for Black Facts to make the kind of impact on the Internet community that we know it can, it needs much more funding than we can currently supply. Thus, a Sponsorship Program has been developed to enable companies, organizations and individuals who believe that Black Facts Online is a worthwhile effort to help us keep this Internet resource alive.

Black Facts Online needs a full-time Project Manager, dedicated web and database servers, and a host of state- of-the-art features that will provide a cutting-edge web experience that has not yet been seen in ethnically oriented web sites. We already have the talent and tools required to make Black Facts happen. All we need is the funding to complete the equation.

Platinum Sponsors will be prominently featured on the Black Facts Online web site by placing their logo (and a link to the URL of their choice) on each and every page in the Black Facts web site for one calendar year. Platinum Sponsorships are very limited in availability, and include exclusivity by industry (i.e. if you are a bank, no other banks can be Platinum Sponsors). Platinum Sponsorship costs $20,000 for the year of 2001, but even more exclusive arrangements are available for higher sponsorship levels.

Gold Sponsors will not be listed on every Black Facts Online page, but will be listed together on a page called the Black Facts Gold Sponsors page, which will be linked from every page in the Black Facts web. Like the Platinum Sponsors, Gold Sponsors will get to place their company logo, along with a link to the URL of their choice, on the Gold Sponsorship Page. Gold Sponsorship costs $5,000 for the year of 2001.

Silver Sponsors will be listed on the Silver Sponsorship Page, which will be linked to from the Gold Sponsorship Page. While this option does not support graphic logos, the sponsor names will be all listed in plain text, along with a link to the URL of their choice. Silver Sponsorship costs $1,000 for the year of 2001.
