Partnering with the AMFS is the highest-impact opportunity for brands that already recognize the Festival as a natural extension of their own audience and mission. These brands know our patrons, our VIPs, our donors—and they want in because they see their own customers reflected in ours. Whether through sponsorship (a strategic marketing investment with measurable ROI) or corporate philanthropy (a mission-driven gift advancing the arts), this is the category where alignment is strongest and the impact is greatest.

The Aspen Music Festival and School is grateful for the support of the following business members of our 2024 National Council:

		Established in 1881, The Aspen Times has grown to be more than just Pitkin County's most trusted news source; it has become a key supporter of community initiatives. Through decades of generous contributions, The Aspen Times has had a significant impact on the cultural and social development of the region, reflecting their deep commitment to the community they have served for generations.
		Since their establishment, Carl’s Pharmacy and Miners’ Building Hardware, under the Bergman family, have become integral parts of Aspen’s community fabric. Their longstanding and significant support over the years underscores their commitment to Aspen's development and well-being. Honoring the city's heritage while contributing to its future, these family-run businesses exemplify the spirit of community engagement and philanthropy.
		Querencia represents a unique blend of luxury living and community spirit. In their inaugural year of giving, they have already shown a remarkable dedication to enriching the local community. Beyond creating an exclusive lifestyle experience, their philanthropic efforts demonstrate a commitment to improving the lives of those in Los Cabos, embodying the true spirit of community and togetherness.
		For over half a century, The Gant has been a bastion of luxury and hospitality in Aspen, playing a pivotal role in the community’s vibrancy. Their substantial and consistent contributions over the years have greatly supported a myriad of local activities and amenities. This dedication has helped Aspen flourish as a year-round haven for families and adventure enthusiasts, enriching the town’s cultural and recreational offerings.
