Mardi Gras Sponsorship

Mardi Gras Sponsorships 

As our largest fundraiser of the year, the Mardi Gras at the MAC is essential to our ability to continue providing arts programming and education to our growing Merced community. MCAC is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to fostering creativity and cultural enrichment. Your sponsorship will support  the MAC, a valuable community hub, as well as our programs that impact thousands of people of all ages through art classes, workshops, exhibitions, and performances that are accessible to our diverse population.

Our Mardi Gras sponsorship levels range from $250 to $2500, with each level providing recognition of you or your company at Mardi Gras and in our very popular social media as well as tickets to Mardi Gras.

For organizations seeking a long-term partnership, we also offer yearly sponsorship packages of the MCAC and the Merced Multicultural Arts Center (the MAC) starting at $2500 that will receive this recognition on our website, social media and at multiple events and throughout the year. 

Visitors to our website and our beautiful Arts Center and social media followers include people of all ages, ethnicity and income levels who share an interest in the community and the arts. 

By sponsoring Mardi Gras at the MAC, you'll be joining a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the power of the arts to enrich lives. We would be honored to have your support.
