NOCCA Foundation

Corporate sponsorships

For nearly fifty years, corporations have sustained NOCCA as it has grown into a cultural engine for our region and one of America’s best-known creative educational institutions. 

The top skills that today’s businesses need–creativity to innovate and solve problems, persuasion, collaboration, perseverance, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and critical and analytical thinking–are all integral elements of learning in NOCCA’s arts and academic departments. 

As a Corporate Sponsor you are building opportunities for creatively driven youth to thrive as young learners and to grow as leaders in the arts as well as in medicine, technology, business and public service.
