Why donate to ANTCON?
ANTCON is the UK’s most recognised event dedicated entirely to antkeeping, bringing together over 300 passionate attendees across two days. By supporting ANTCON, you are making a donation directly to the Ant Antics Foundation, a not for profit organisation committed to education, conservation, and public engagement. Your support helps fund outreach to schools, promote ecological awareness, and deliver accessible events for the community.
In previous years, we paid for the materials included in attendee swag bags and other event features. Now that ANTCON is being run in aid of a charitable cause, we are inviting businesses to support us through donations too. We believe the work we are doing, from reintroducing endangered ants to inspiring the next generation through schools, is more than worthy of your support.
Naturally, ticket sales have helped fund plenty of swag bag goodies already, but extra contributions are always welcome and appreciated.
In return for your donation, we offer a range of perks at ANTCON including brand placement, promotional visibility, and printed material inclusion as our way of saying thank you and helping you connect with our growing community. This is not a commercial transaction, but a charitable contribution that may also qualify for corporate tax relief under HMRC guidelines.
If you would like to support ANTCON in any way, please get in touch by emailing us at hello@antantics.wales
Sponsorship by Donation
We welcome donations of nests, food samples, or promotional items for attendee swag bags. If you’d like to send something for each guest, we’re happy to include your business card with each item. This is a great way to get your brand directly into the hands of 300 passionate hobbyists and families. Items must be relevant to the antkeeping or nature-based hobby community.
Sponsorship by Brand Placement
If you’d like to be featured in our printed materials, we offer sponsor logo placement across event timetables and day literature for £200, which includes a 1-inch square logo on all distributed documents.
For £275, we’ll also include a printed flyer in every swag bag, with print costs covered in this price.
Sponsorship of an Activity
This is a high-visibility opportunity to sponsor one of our key events – such as Antkeeper Bingo, the Open Mic stage, ANTCON Gameshow, our Exhibit Competition, or the Family Tent Activities. Your brand will be named as the sponsor on event signage, have a banner displayed at the activity, and be included on all printed literature and swag bag materials.
This premium package is priced at £500 plus any costs for your branded banners or signage.
Support Through General Donation
AIf you believe in what we’re doing and would like to make a donation to the Ant Antics Foundation without a specific placement or activity, we are always grateful. Every penny goes toward education, conservation, and keeping this event accessible and impactful.
