For local businesses
Meet your neighbors where they gather.
On Saturday, December 12, Potomac Shores residents will spend the afternoon in Central Park shopping from 20 local makers. Sponsor the first Potomac Made Holiday Market and your business is part of the day, not an ad beside it.

Why sponsor
Local, visible, and tax-deductible.
The right audience. Admission is free for Potomac Shores residents: homeowners, new families, and neighbors who buy local.
Recognition that lasts. Your name on signage at the market, on the sponsor wall on our website, and in our thank-you posts.
A real cause. Market costs come first. Anything left over funds our spring 2027 hands-on workshops for youth, veterans, and neighbors.
A clean gift. Potomac Made is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 42-5235825). We send a written acknowledgment for your records.
Who sponsors
Made for the businesses that serve this community.

The neighbors you help buy and sell homes will be here. Sponsor on your own, or split the $1,000 Lights & Warmth tier with a lending or real estate partner, $500 each, with both names on the sign.
Builders & developers
Show buyers and residents the kind of community life they're moving into. The Presenting Sponsorship puts your name on the event itself.
Restaurants & new businesses
Opening soon or just opened? Introduce yourself to the neighborhood. Sponsor a tent, run a cocoa or tasting station, or offer an after-market special to shoppers.
Grocers & regional brands
New to the area? Gift cards, in-kind donations, and community giving grants help us run the market and the classes that follow.
