Why should you join UHCA as a business member / what’s the ROI for businesses?
We’re glad you asked! Your small contribution of $100 for a business membership, along with our other membership and fundraising efforts, is what funds the many programs and events UHCA produces during the year. While we accomplish a lot - more than 90% of our work is accomplished thanks to the generous time and energy of our unpaid volunteers - we don’t have to tell you that there are ever increasing costs involved in doing things here in San Diego…
$3,500+ in insurance costs per year
$2,000+ per year in city permits, direct event costs like porta-potties, barricades, tables, etc.
$1,000+ per year in costs to maintain our website, email and social media infrastructure
$1,000+ per year for printing & signs
$2,500+ per year to help subsidize the UH News with a distribution of >5,400 copies monthly
$2,000+ per year for supplies and tools for our beautification and planting programs
Your contribution helps sustain UHCA’s programs and gives you pride (and bragging rights) that you are supporting vital community programs - including the Beautification Team (trash angels, community cleanups, lights on Vermont St. Bridge), Zone Watch and our interactions with the SDPD to help make UH safer, advocacy for important issues affecting UH to our elected officials and governmental agencies, and our events like Movies in the Park, Party on Park, mixers, Caroling in the Heights, Lights in the Heights, and the monthly community meetings.
UHCA organizes events that bring people together, publishes a paper to keep them informed, and hosts monthly meetings that serve as a forum for learning and discussion. We encourage participation in public life, and our strong, active membership empowers our community and amplifies its voice. Business membership benefits include:
• Discounts on advertising in UH News
• Business membership directory listing keeps your business connected with UH residents
• Featured article in UH News
• Business spotlight article in UH News
• Social media sharing of your content throughout the year via our highly engaged social media (Facebook, Instagram)
• 1 blog article on our website
• First opportunity to sponsor UHCA events
Is your business looking to make a real, genuine connection to the community? University Heights Community Association is actively developing a new series of advertising opportunities to best highlight our member businesses and the amazing things they’re achieving within the community.
