Sponsorship Opportunities

A Partnership for Community, Environment, and Economy

Salmon mean business. They support our environment, culture, and economy. So do people. At the heart of every strong business is a strong community. Like you, NSEA is powered by the people who live, work, and care about this place we call home.

Salmon Mean Business is NSEA’s invitation to local businesses to join us in protecting this shared resource. By sponsoring our public engagement and outreach events, your business supports hands-on restoration, environmental education, and community connection—all while aligning with values that matter to your customers and employees.

Why It Matters

For over 30 years, the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) has worked with community members to restore salmon habitat and connect us all to the environment that sustains us.  Each year, we reinvest more than $1 million into the local economy through contracts with vendors, consultants, and more—not including payroll. We’re proud to do business with businesses like yours.
