As the most densely populated area for visitors, workers, and residents north of Portland, projects in Downtown Bangor are highly visible and far-reaching.
By creating, promoting, and marketing activities that enhance the distinctive identity of Downtown Bangor, we strive to encourage retention and growth of commercial, residential, and cultural life within the Downtown District. Such projects help make the Downtown District a vibrant, pleasant, and safe place to live, work, and play.
Sponsor dollars go directly to funding the infrastructure needed to create impactful community assets, host events that target many sectors of the local population and create economic growth for local businesses, and market Bangor to tourists as an arts and culture hub, entertainment, and business district. The Downtown Bangor Partnership receives its core funding from a Special Assessment paid by property owners in the Downtown District which covers staff time and overhead. As a result, we are able to execute projects without the need to incorporate operating costs into sponsorships and grants.

As a community-driven nonprofit organization, we are able to supplement the work of our staff with community volunteers who bring their skill, knowledge and elbow grease, contributing hundreds of hours to making Downtown Bangor a more beautiful, vibrant, and economically sustainable environment. Operational since 1988, the longevity of the organization reinforces the value of the services provided. The Board of Directors and City oversight ensure accountability and delivery of quality projects that are mutually beneficial for both the sponsor and the community.
Through email, social media, digital and traditional marketing, we share Downtown Bangor with thousands of business owners, employees, residents, people who have self-identified as interested in Downtown Bangor, and potential visitors across the country. Your sponsorship helps us keep the momentum and creates opportunities for proportion and engagement that are practical, whimsical, delightful, and meaningful to not only Downtown Bangor, but the region as a whole.
