Sponsorship · 2026–27 · Founding year

Sponsor a Manzano DECA student.

Manzano students compete in marketing, finance, hospitality and management every year. Sponsorships pay for their registration, travel and the clothes they compete in. In return, your business gets recognition at our events, on our shirts and on this site. This is our first year taking sponsors, so all four levels are open.

Talk to us sponsors@manzanodeca.org

Become a sponsor

Sponsorships are tax-deductible. We send a receipt for every gift. Send logos as EPS, SVG or PNG to sponsors@manzanodeca.org.

What it pays for

Sponsorships cover the real costs of a competition season — the ones families would otherwise carry themselves.

• Conference registration for competing students

• Travel and lodging for districts, state and nationals

• Chaperone costs, so students are supervised at every event

• Blazers, polos and badges, so every student looks the part

• Study materials and practice exams

• Awards night: venue, food and recognition for the chapter

• Seed money for chapter fundraisers, so they start in the black

Costs shift year to year with where the conferences are held. We send a receipt for every gift.

Matching gifts

Your employer may match it.

A lot of Albuquerque employers match gifts to 501(c)(3) nonprofits. If yours does, we'll fill out the paperwork. Here's the information their form will ask for:

Manzano DECA Booster Club
EIN 39-2172318
12200 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, N.M. 87112
sponsors@manzanodeca.org

A matched gift counts toward your level at the combined amount.
