Sponsorship
Sponsor a community
Please Note: *** Sponsorship requires no work from your community admin. Once your site is live there will be a banner letting potential sponsors know when and how to bid. However, no one will be denied a site if they don't have a sponsor. I recognize that many rural communities are very small and don’t have the resources to develop a tool like this on their own.

Sponsor guidelinesFree for your community. Funded by local sponsors.
Communities no longer pay a monthly plan. Every WiseRavenFire site is paid for by a single local sponsor who wins a transparent, timed auction for the sponsor placement.
Tell us your community name and how to reach you. There is no plan to choose and nothing to pay.
A banner goes up on your site and on wiseravenfire.org telling local businesses they have 14 days to bid for the sponsor placement.
When the clock runs out, the top bidder wins, pays securely online, and is published as your community sponsor.
No sponsor yet? Your site still launches.
If nobody bids in the first window, we keep the auction cycle running and reopen bidding — your community pages, alerts, and volunteer tools stay available in the meantime. Email support@wiseravenfire.org with any questions.

How the bidding works
New communities. The moment a community requests a site, bidding opens for 14 days. A banner on the community site and on the WiseRavenFire home page tells local businesses how long is left and what the current high bid is.
Yearly renewals. Every November 1 the sponsorship for the coming year reopens for bidding and closes December 7 at 2:00 PM Pacific. Existing sponsors can bid again, and any other local business can compete for the spot.
Bidding rules. Each bid must beat the current high bid by the set increment. Only the leading business name and amount are public — never the bidder list. When the clock runs out the top bid wins and pays online by card.
As the president of our local Firewise committee, I want to spend my time on fire mitigation activities—not paperwork. As a result, I created WiseRavenFire to automate as much of the process as possible and provide critical information that could save lives.
I recognize that many rural communities are very small and don’t have the resources to develop a tool like this on their own. My hope is that enough larger communities find sponsors so we can provide a free site to those communities that truly cannot afford one.
