01 Mission, vision and promise

The resource network powering communities and experiences.

Almension is a proposed, managed in-kind sponsorship network connecting local and regional US businesses with organized hobby communities. Technology supports discovery while Community Partnerships Managers with hobby-specific expertise would support introductions, coordination and fulfillment.

Our mission is to connect businesses with communities built around shared interests by channeling resources, relationships, and opportunities into meaningful community experiences.

Our vision

The long-term vision is to become a leading network for community sponsorship, where contributions are easier to discover, coordinate, document and repeat.

Our promise

The proposed model keeps an honest, documented exchange in view, with technology for discovery and specialized people supporting execution.

For businessesA / B

Put what you have to good use.

Have products, services, equipment or experiences that could support a local community?

Start by discussing an in-kind contribution: products, services, equipment or experiences that may suit an organized hobby community.

Tell us the resource type, what you can contribute, its location, and timing or availability. This is an in-kind sponsorship offer, not a cash donation or crowdfunding.

02 From first note to follow-through

A thoughtful introduction takes more than a filter.

The proposed model uses technology to support discovery of resources and needs. Community Partnerships Managers with hobby-specific expertise would support introductions, coordination, handoff and fulfillment. The intended fit assessment considers the group, hobby, timing, location and each side’s criteria.

01

Share a resource or need

A business can describe an in-kind resource; an organizer can outline a specific community sponsorship request.

02

Consider the fit

The proposed approach would consider the group, hobby, timing, location and each side’s criteria when assessing a potential fit.

03

Coordinate with care

Community Partnerships Managers with hobby-specific expertise would support introductions, coordination and fulfillment. Planned tracking is intended to document agreements and help suitable relationships repeat.

A network built on fit

Fit stays about the community.

The proposed fit-based approach is intended to bring forward requests that meet a sponsor’s stated criteria, considering the group, hobby, timing and location.

If advertising supports the network, it is intended not to influence fit or fulfillment decisions. Almension is not a pay-to-rank directory.

Almension focuses on in-kind sponsorships and coordinated partnerships. It is not a donation or charity platform, and it is not cash crowdfunding.
